i thought the dash engine used early VR4 pistons, hence the extra valve cut out.

So they only have to have one mould, save money etc.

Correct, VR4 and DASH Pistons are different though :wink:

yeah but they can'
t be taht diff from vr4 what i;m thinking is vr4 forged pistons are easy to get so may be a straight swap

also the oil solenoid on the head that controls the other 4 valves its cool

No, but they are comparable to VR4 pistons as they're basically the same.

You'll also note that 8 valve engines have 3 valve reliefs per piston. As it was said before, looks like Mitsi was thinking ahead :)

I think you'll need the pistons with the four valve recesses.

I dont think they do man... They have a heart shaped dish in them, its a more efficient combustion design.
