Anybody in here who can tell, if there is any difference between the early and late type 86 mm 356 pistons from AA Pistons - except the angle of 22 and 30 degrees? If that is the only difference, it would be an fairly easy operation to machine my pistons from 30 degree to 22 degree.
1955-63 pistons
1963-66 pistons

Reason for all this BS is, that i took a chance ordering late/30 degree pistons/cylinders a few years back during a visit to US. Now i finally got to tear down the motor, and found that the combustion chambers are in fact the early type/22 degrees. Evil or Very Mad

Cut to 22* and cut the pockets for the exhaust valve at least 1mm deeper.
