Default 95" pistons

Why wont the 95" high compression cast pistons work with screamin eagle performance heads? Dont want to go forged and cant seem to find anywhere near me to flycut the valve reliefs on my flat top 95" pistons.

Because the cast domes are set up for stock heads and the combustion chamber on the SE perf heads is smaller.. You probably check fit and trim if wanted.. You might want to CC the domes and check your final compression ratio.

The OD of the raised cast dome needs to be reduced, to fit under that chamber.
Pics of just that, posted on our company Facebook a while ago.

Get the Dremel tool out, a Sharpie and some duct tape and open up the valve reliefs yourself.: icon_doh: The intake is the one that needs attention. However, I would mock up and clay first; you might get lucky.
