Anyone ever seen a 4age piston like this??

I've never seen a 4age piston with a bowl in it before. Even the ZE ones are flat faced.

hmm i shall compare to the bluetops ones i have......
i wonder if they are forged ones. repco do ACL pistons and i think they have a listing for 4agze ones, but they are bloody exspensive and afaik not as good as genuine ones

that part number is a good number with repco, and it does appear to be bluetop pistons with the later gudgeon pin size

Fluck me silly with a wet spoon.
I must be previlaged to have only operated with aftermarket high compression pistons and of course the odd 20 valve or seventeen. Those standard pistons are UUUUUUGly.
