OK, here's an XU9J4Z piston

Hey Peter, you don't happen to have a pic of a non-Z piston as well? I'd be interested to see if they look different - As I understand they're a bit longer (higher) but do the tops look different as well?

PS - Strange Fact of the day - the guys at APS imported a new 2.5 litre WRX STi from the USA and found that it has cast pistons and not forged - weird

Cheers
Steve

You'd wouldn't be able to see the difference, as they're only 1mm higher. They are stamped with a Z rather than an X on the crown.

Thanks Peter - wow that was a quick response - Thanks and Happy New Year

I have a link to my cars motor, pretty sure there is some pictures of at least the top of the piston.
