See i thought Standard black top pistons where flat top with no dish? Also is the coating on the skirt something you get on stock pistons?

The piston is stamped ford so its a ford piston, i did wonder if the dish had been machined out but the letters that are on the crown rule that out.

i took a set out of a 2.0 black top last year, same as whats in the pics.

i thought they might be ok to turbo, found out they only take 14psi then they shatter haha
