I'm not saying it doesn't make a difference, I'd just like to know why!!  |
so what your saying is a taperd piston cannot work as it sit inside the cylinder and the shape wont make any difference in that theroy teflon piston shouldn't make a differnce either as the turbulance of the oil should out way the efect of the hydroynamics of the piston silky smoothness cool thats saves a lot of money.
