Saddle area

[Wally]

I have a hard time picturing what exactly you mean?

There are some 'standard' options you can order on aftermarket pistons like JE's such as extra grooves between ring langs. Is that what you mean?

Hi Walter, no it has nothing to do with the piston. It's a machining process on the case. It aids in the blow-bi of the skirt to where the skirt fits on. Its the area where the oil squirters are installed. I have seen cases massage in that area for a better blow by exiting from the bottom of piston to cylinder wall. I know what it looks like, but its hard to explain, it has to do with milling/grinding the oil squirter area, I call that area the saddle to skirt rest ahhhhhhhh. Sorry I don't know the proper nomenclature.

Sorry I don't know the proper nomenclature. There are three things left that I would like to have done on my case. 1. Have john Edwards shuffle pin my case. 2. Get that area around the squirters machined. 3. Have the case cyro treated.
