 Topic: Ideas why one piston looks dished?
Posted: 02 May 2019 at 9:28pm |
Hi there. I pulled the head off my block and and took a close look at my piston tops and the rear one is dished in whereas the other ain’t. Any ideas what can cause this? Or possibly it is an incorrect replacement? thanks in advance!

Probably the same reason my Oliver 88 had 5 aluminum and 1 cast iron piston when I bought it! 😆

LOL. I did a 460 gas IH for a guy once, he swore up and down it was original and has never been apart. When I popped the pistons out, all 6 were knurled. Thats an old time repair you dont see anymore.......

Knurled. Now there’s a word I’ve heard. Just wasn’t sure the meanin in reference to piston work until now !
I was just makin sure I wasn’t missing nothin and I had big problems with my bottom end that damaged that piston..
My gut reaction was it was just a different piston someone put in there because that’s all they could get some where along the line. Thanks!

Have not seen a knurled piston in forty years, used to know a gent with tooling to do that as well knurl guides, they don't do that anymore either.
