Ok I just came back from my brother in-law's mold making shop

My piston has a dome center, so all measurements are not from the dome but from the top of the outer rim... we layed the piston upside down on 2 machined blocks on a flat marble work surface... pulled out some funky guage that sits flat on the table and zeroed it on top of one of the machined blocks... because he's a mold maker he measured everything 3 times to ensure accuracy...

top of first ring .158
top of second ring .368
top of oil ring .606
top of piston pin hole .769
piston pin diameter .828 (using telescoping guage)

do the math and i'm sure you can figure it all out



"Mold"?? Does he make Cheese, or penicillin perhaps?
Lol I'm just having fun.
