You're gonna wait 9 months for the pedigree before you actually pull the heads off to see if it does have the domed pistons? Why wait since new/used 1500 pistons & rings are getting harder to find/buy. _________________ https://imgur.com/user/FisherSquareback/posts

Waiting 9 months isn't going to do any harm. Domed pistons are not that hard to find if you know where to look/who to ask. |

Tearing down, cleaning, etc. No problem. When I said work is stopping, I meant any changes. Plus, nine months is not that long when I have my hands full with the 412. _________________ 1974 412 variant

I received my ZERTIFIKAT yesterday, and am quite pleased to have it confirm that it is all numbers matching. Wondering how many other s are unmolested.
I was surprised that they state that due to data protection reasons, they cant list the number next to the VIN. Have others had this result?
