I bought my caliper and feeler gauge today and to test out the caliper I measured the piston that I pulled out. It was 67.35mm, I'm guessing it was like yours Randy not a 66.00mm but a 67.50mm. Also looking at the photos in the clymer repair manual I don't see valve reliefs cut in the head of the pistons they show in the photos but mine has valve reliefs.</end quote></div>
You have to measure the skirts, not the top or the sides.</end quote></div>
I Measured the skirt and exactly 67.50mm. Are there only a certain brand piston that has valve reliefs cut in them?

I don't know.... I think its up to the manufacturers if they want to put them in. I always like to see them though. I feel a little safer that way. Apparently, some wisecos have them n some don't. My lakota wiseco has them and it says on the side of the box 8.5:1. WTF? Doesn't make any sense why a low comp piston has reliefs and a high comp doesn't.
