I am looking for a picture, prefer side by side, of the top of a Euro Piston, versus the top of a 914 piston.
Over at PP site, they show a Euro piston from the side, and then a VW bus piston with a 13cc dish.
Recently looking around, and hoping to buy a set from a member here has raised some confusion on the topic.
Now I have a few sets of US 94mm pistons, and they have a dish, though I have not measured it yet, it looks like it could be 3cc or just a bit more.
The Euro piston has a small dish, but how much is it?
If someone has a pic or two to share, that would be great.

The last "Euro" pistons I had were flat .... no dish at all .... but then I'm blind.

Flat, flat, flat,flat. The difference is the compression ratio. Euro is 8:1 with 100hp and the US 7:6:1 with 95hp.
I have a new set. Perhaps I can post a picture later tonight.
