Isn't that what I was getting at saying initially that it was removed to provide a couple of benefits?
1. To reduce the potential hot spots and cracking at this point where the piston is most vunerable
2. To reduce CR effectively without harming the squish volume like so many tend to do with stacking head gaskets...

Oye...another post though.

I'd said for safety's sake, it wouldn't hurt to check. I know I will be checking mine again once I have some miles on it. Heed Jake's advice though... but since your running normal dino still at this point the normal torque specs as per raceware's instructions will be honored...

I saw you talked about hot spots but I didn't see anything about stress risers

Regardless, I see your point. I'll probably give it some consideration later. It would be easy enough to do....just be sure to cc it when you're done to ensure even combustion chamber volume.

They were done on a CNC lathe perfectly... I believe they CC'd at 29cc each. I was looking for a stock bowl CC measurement but don't believe anyone ever got one. I had the specs from before I machined but lost it on my other computer that crashed shortly after and didn't write it down anywhere else.

that'd be great to have a comparison number. I'd appreciate the info after you have done it if you don't mind. Damn computers...since then, its always been...keep a hard copy
