1.8 stock piston pictures?
Does anyone have any pictures of stock 1.8 pistons? I'm looking for a head-on shot that shows the valve relief cuts.
I've searched all over the interweb and I can't find any pics. Plenty of wisecos/supertechs in this forum but again, I couldn't find stock pics.
Thanks much..

Here's a picture of a new 01 piston. It has three height levels on the face total. The valve reliefs are larger for the intake side of the piston.
The piston next to it is supertech's try at a 84mm factory compression piston. Note the dot on the top surface towards the right.
Your 03 piston should look like the 01 posted if it is factory. - which is doesn't.
Yours could be lower compression supertechs.
Most of the factory pistons have a small cresent shape cut out of them between the intake valve reliefs and the perimeter of the piston.
