Re: 16V Pistons

Hi there!


>Are the 16V pistons somehow different in shape?

VERY different! They are kinda like Diesel pistons, if you have ever seen 
those. The 16V pistons are completely flat on top with the exception of an 
angled groove from one side of the piston to the other in the same area that 
the Diesel piston has the cutouts for the cumbustion distribution from the 
swirl chamber.


If anything I figure they
>MIGHT (Never seen one so im guessing here.) have valve relief's cut into
>them??

Diesel engines don't have relief valves cut in them (VW) and they have 25-1 
CR.
