Rick
I can not immediatly identify those pistons but flat tops in an everyday
driver would really boost the compression.
I would not recommend it based on past expierience.
My son had flat tops in his Mini, I think JP4 jet fuel still would not
stop the pinging.
Even stock high compression pistons for a 1275 are dished.
