Thanks for the input. Some of those observations may have been me as I had just chased the old head bolts in the block with the cutting oil that was in the threaded holes from boring and my hands were not perfectly clean with oil residue on them. I plan on making sure everything is as clean as I can get it upon installation. They are ITM pistons. These really looked great right out of the box. My machinist was extremely pleased with them upon initial inspection, but I will pass your thoughts on to him. He still measures everything though. I perused your photo album of the Safety and Toyota Pistons to compare today. I noticed the Safety Pistons did not have the ceramic coating on top among other things.
