[alfa] RE: Identifying 10:1 Motronic Pistons

["Mark Lee" <mlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Erik Wood is correct. I've just photographed all three 2L piston crowns
you'll likely run into, and measured the approximate distances across the
valve cut-outs, so you can tell the difference. Motronic is the easiest to
spot, even through a spark plug hole, since it's completely flat in the
center.

crown between the valve pockets.  I'm pretty sure the other are rounded on
top.  You might be able to tell with a flashlight aimed down a plug hole.
Anyone remember differently?
