there acl forgies really (ROSS) shhhh lol and there turbo spec i havent seen a dished vl turbo piston except a custom setup ?? also the comp is around 8.2 wich is perfect and needed for the cam and help pete spool his turbo, the head chambers are very slightly recessed on 3 cylendars just to get the cc levels even all across, they always warp after being welded and tunnel bored so its needed if you want to make peak power it was also drilled for half inch head bolts aswell for a bit more bite Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
