Dan Evans Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've just taken the head off the car, and it looks as though i already have forged pistons in the block?????Am i right in saying that all pistons have the two little cut outs on the tops??cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 i would assume so, there for the valves to seat in.only way to tell is to take them out, check the sizing and rods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ktl Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 looks standard to me. the cuttings in them are for the valves to clear if does slip/break. i think thats why anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scot-ish Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 i would assume so, there for the valves to seat in.only way to tell is to take them out, check the sizing and rods.mate, the valves dont seat in the piston, the seat in the valve seatthe "knotch/cutout" on the piston, is for clearance from the inlet valves, to stop them slapping the pistons.
