Pistons

Post by mikeydpippin »

Looking through my parts I've found 2 x 350cc pistons, one has grooves the other hasn't, can someone advise me what the difference is?

Some may have holes round the oil ring groove some don't. I guess holes / slots assist lubrication. Perhaps also control heat so the piston heats up round, not go or stay oval.

Thanks Rob, what about the different slots in the bottom of the barrel, both 350,s ?
