It depends what cams you are running - some require cut outs, some not. Yours could have had them either because they were needed, or for future use.

cams are kent (k2 is it?,cant remember without looking at the last rebuid receipt,not got it here) that make any difference?

1/ what would happen if they didn't have the cut outs and needed them?

2/ can i get the pistons cut out?or do you buy them like that?

3/ and how will i know if they need the cut outs?

bend the valves and maybe damage the pistons

2/ can i get the pistons cut out?or do you buy them like that?

between £25-£40 per pistons to get them in OR buy already done

3/ and how will i know if they need the cut outs?

have to have the cam lopes measured for lift really
