Help me identify these pistons

Post by Jacob Mangold » Sat Mar 18, 2023 3:59 pm

Took the head off my 24 tt and I discovered a pleasant surprise. It has aluminum pistons. I just want to know what year, manufacturer, and if they are high compression, if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Jacob Mangold

Standard shape for a T, can't tell make from just the top, need to see the whole piston to get an idea of time frame and manufacturer.

That means some of the machine work has already been done. It might have the babbitt replaced also.
