Paul:
What you are describing does sound like the AE 2.0L conversion
piston. The original application was Lotus and the divets are to clear the
valves in that application. I do not know of any way of verifying this
without pulling the head to check the bore size.
Actually one comes to mind now. This piston has a lower pin height.
The piston will not rise as high in the bore as a stock piston. You might
be able to check for this.
