stujordan:
Id wager they are for trapping oil and hot gases....think of them as built in micro-rings....anyone got a better guess?

I was thinking the same thing but I had never seen a piston like it before so I had to ask

stujordan:
Are u going to a larger bore or just replacing the piston?

What brand is that piston?

vagassasson:
I bought a used piston and cylinder off eBay.  This is the piston that came with the cylinder but as you can see its already pretty wore out
