Stock dish is 3mm below the crown. I don't know what's up if you've actually got different pistons; Usually the high readings are the result of oil draining into the cylinders from the plug galley.

Danny, what's your timing set to? Retarded timing (both mechanical and ignition) will cause higher engine temps.

Well I have the JDM engine so I have no clue what pistons are in it. I haven't checked timing since I put it in, I'll have to check again. I might just take it to a shop instead of dealing with this headache, I'll deal with a wallet ache instead...

156psi optimum, 124psi min. If your engine was PERFECT and just had a lot of carbon buildup you still wouldn't see much past the lower 160's.

JDM uses the same pistons.

That's GE by the way; GTE is supposed to be about 15psi lower.

piston dish that on the pistons i bought was exactly as you said cre, 3mm, just under 1/8th inch (if my math is correct...??). i do remember gauging the other pistons and they are just under 1/16th inch, prolly around 1.5mm. so ill have to figure out what the serial number is today. ill get one and post back soon.. im very curious about these two sets of pistons i have...might have to use them in another build if i can find a good block. high compression 7mge

Meh, still better than a hole in the side of the block with a mangled rod protruding.
