Cutting piston bowls

Getting ready to do a Reenterant delete to an engine I’m playing with.

The piston im working on has an offset bowl with a deep lip. My plan was to cut the lip straight down to the bottom radius of the bowl. Going to chuck it up in a four jaw chuck and center it to the offset bowl then cut the lip off. I’d love to post pictures, but photobucket screwed me and I haven’t taken the time to figure anything else out.

I know bowl geometry is a complicated design, so I’m not looking to totally redesign it. I just want to open the bowl up to keep from burning the lip off the piston when we run advanced timing.

Application is a 1006 perkins running a “Farm stock” class

Well I finished them

Click the image to open in full size.

Before and after.
Before the bowl ID was 1.9, now it is 2.45”
Went from 45cc bowl to 60cc. Should put compression at 14.5:1. I think that’ll work fine for what we are doing

I’m open for Criticism. I’m sure there is some way I could improve them

Interesting side note, just torqued the head down. Specs are 80ft lbs then plus 180 degrees if it’s a medium length bolt (different lengths get different degrees). After running them, I set my torque wrench to 150ft lb, and the bolt I tested didn’t even budge.

I’m not a big guy, I had to have a 3ft cheater pipe to get them torqued. That’s a lot of torque on a 1/2” bolt

You did good. Thats how shops cut Dmax pistons, for the same reasons you did. What size radius did you put on the edge?

I gave it the eye ball radius

I’m no machinist by any means, but I’m slowly learning. The grinder I use has no degree marks so cut them by eye with the regular tool I was using. Then I cleaned them up with some rough sandpaper and finished them with some rough scotch brite (red pads?). I couldn’t get my tool to give me the surface finish I wanted, but it did the job. Need to upgrade my tooling

I like it. I believe when Merchant cut mine, his machinist used a .25" radius. Yours look close to that.
I figured it lowered my comp ratio around .5 by doing so, too.

I’m curious to see how the straight walls change things up.

Abunch of things are changing at once, so I won’t have a good report of how it changed performance
