That's what we build.Then make sure that the head gasket is properly assembled, if it'sdone by human hands, thank you. We just machine the pistons, not assemble the engine. After we machine them they go out for polymer coating, then to the engine plant. BTW, did you know that today's pistons are NOT round? They're oval. Don't worry; the machines for that operation are totally automatic. No union hands touch them till they're done. :-)
Yep, good pistons have been oval for a long time. If machined
correctly, they are only oval when cold ... they should be circular at
typical operating temperature.
