Those are some rather odd looking pistons. Are these the ones in your engine now, or are these going to replace the current ones? What's the specs on them? They look close to being flat tops? Definetly interesting though.

Those are about an 11cc (If they are a 4" piston) dome piston with a slipper type piston skirt.

DITTO. I'd be coatin the skirts with a dry lube, and coatin the crowns with the ceramic stuff. Especially for what you're buildin.
