Well, the title says it all. Any suggestions for what I should do? The car was running before I pulled the engine apart to replace my headgasket.

Thanks

 

A set of new pistond arnt that expensive I guess u can continue to use them but its affects ur compression and performance.

 

Pics?

 

Will post pics tomorrow

 

Here are the pictures, I did one with a penny to help show how deep it is and all the pistons seem to have identical markings. Let me know what you think

Thanks

 

Im trying not laugh right now. but thats how's the pistons are supposed to be. Nothing to worry abt. They are there to give the valves some wiggle room or something like that.

 

Heh ok, great! Can you tell this is my first rebuild yet? I always get worried when I run into things like this.

Thanks

 

Np gl with the rest of ur rebuild.

 

This is why you should have more information in your posts. If we had known you have an NA, we could have told you before you posted pictures. You didn't find it the least bit odd that all 6 pistons have the same reliefs cut in them in exactly the same manner?

 

While I probably should have posted more info, I didn't even think that the turbo and n/a would have different pistons. But you know, that's alright, as I know now.

Thanks

 

Yes. The turbo pistons are dished and do not contain relief cuts. It's the reason they are 7.8:1 or 8.3:1 compression vs the NA 9.0:1 compression.

Hey. You're learning.

 

I don't think I've ever seen az-zbum put down a smiley face....
