Default Cut outs on pistons ?

Hi,

I have a set of +0.5mm pistons in my engine but they have 2 valve cut outs on each piston. Would they have come like this or would the previous owner have had this done. Its got a stage 3 head with a piper T2 cam & bigger valves as well if that makes any difference.

cheers, Duncan

Could be either dependant on Piston manufacturer
