Since you aren't a I6 guy, I'll let it slide. :icon_rendeer:

#2 piston is way down low, and I just set an old piston on top of it so you can tell the difference in comp ratio from old to new pistons.

Looks good.

Ok I get it.... at first I was like WTF is Dave doing....I did not even look at the placement of the pistons in relation to the stroke I just seen a shiney flat top next to a used dish piston.... I was thinking "well top fuelers stagger their compression ratio" .... LOL

Later dude

Dave, are you gonna remove that extra piston before you bolt the cylinder head on? :icon_geek:

So you took a old piston and dropped in into a freshly honed cylinder so you could take a picture???????? Im just sayin....
