instead of putting a dish in a set of forged pistons i still had , and compromising piston top thickness (strenght) i ordered a special set in hopes of a stronger piston ..

The dish looked a bit deeper then i thought it would need to be , so i measured it and they fabricated a 21cc dish and not the 15cc i asked :evil:
Compression becomes now really too low for a good thorttle response (autoX"......)
, so i propably sent them back, or stack them for a future turbo project

Why do they do that :?:
Not listen to the customer and make something he didn't ask for.....

otherwise, the quality looks nice and the coating should help get the friction down somewhat
