CN:

You say:

"I've been curious to try the forged side relief style piston (like the omega shown) over the standard slipper skirt, but again, JE states that they have to run significantly more clearance with the forged side relief style, as they run hotter (statement made by JE)."


Might this forged side relief affect the distribution of the cooling oil sprayed at the backside of the crown? As in little or none out to the sides by the wrist pin openings?

Interesting design, though. Is its virtue less weight?
