I have just the one and odd piston, it must have come to me a part of a job lot of parts?
there was no conrod or gudgeon pin but the top two rings were still there, quite worn, so the engine has done some miles.
The shorter skirt is also shaped and is hollow, check the thinner deck hight on the left piston.
The hight is different due to the shorter skirt, note the gap under the bottom of the skirt on the left piston.
The piston on the left is the low compression one, you can see the valve cut outs are lower and if you look closely you can see a set of half moon marks above the cut outs when the engine was run with the pistons fitted the wrong way around!
