My Pistons Let Me Show You them.

Turbulence? Cut down on hot spots? Change flame front propagation?

It's weird how they stripped in the dish instead of just running a bullnose endmill around the inside to create the radius. Would have created a much smoother finish and taken a LOT less time. Unless the bottom of the dish is curved or something. Hard to tell from the pictures.

The pattern on the top of the piston is something the piston builder has been toying around with to seperate his pistons from other piston makers in the BMW community, his cutting process is different I think. I can't remember why he did it, it was explained to me, but there is a reason.

Ahh, I didn't read between the lines Alex!
As far as the buiild, it's going to bore most people here, and tons of questions regarding my balls/ judgement will come up.
It's a mild stroker build that will have good torque and will prove to be fun to putter around in ;) Nothing that hasn't been done for years and years, just great materials in a fun package.
