NOW WE"RE GETTING SOMETHING DONE !!!!  Remember to mark the flywheel for 20 and 22 degree BTDC because that is where you need to be.

Im interested in a set of these if they are available. And will come back to see if they do need milling or not for a d17

When I used SP-46 pistons I had to remove .170" from the outer top lip because the piston would hit the cylinder head !!!   I had 240 psi of cranking compression and always felt it was around 11 to 1 ratio.    110 octane fuel was easily good enough along with retarded ignition timing of 20 to 22 degrees BTDC at full throttle.

Just a question, but if they are custom building the pistons, couldn't they shave .170 from the top or move the wrist pin up .170 during the build?

Sure. They have to be told exactly what you want and they will make it like that.

  If they were mine I would like the ring pack higher, I guess with the bowl  so big - wide there is not enough material.

I would have preferred the top ring height match the old pistons location to keep the compression exactly the same. I know it will be a very slight difference.

I remember talking to Don Bradley several years ago and he was totally against using flat-top pistons. He claimed Power Crater pistons would always dyno better than flat-tops, despite the fact that the flat-tops had more compression. 
I don't think we talked about M&W pistons.
Is that why you aren't using flat-top pistons?

I've never used flat tops because I always felt Power Crater was better. When I had Ross make me custom pistons I was able to spec the bowl diameters (top and bottom) and bowl depth (cc's) and compression distance (pin to piston top) to exactly what I wanted. So, why not go with the Power Crater design ?? I also have never had the time or money (maybe the other way around) to build an engine with 8.25 to 1 compression flat tops and then tear it apart and install 8.25 to 1 Power Craters from a 175 tractor. I would assume all things being equal (4 inch bore and same compression, same cam, head and carburetor) the Power Craters would show some slight advantage. I would also be willing to bet if the flat tops were at 9.0 to 1 instead of 8.25 to 1, that might be the winner in making the most HP. We will never know.   My pulling engine is 4 5/8" plus bore and cranking compression tests at 300 psi with Ross custom made Power Crater pistons.

i told them i  wanted the bowls and pin hieght exactly the same on purpose so i can shave what i want ,   and start with somthing that allready works,    i left the ring grooves to them they recomended lighten ing them up and shortening the the skirts some    maybe the next go around i will have the  recipe changed it took a long time to get done and they were not cheap

I've always said that using an SP-46 M&W piston that .170" had to be removed from the top of the piston. This was not a way to get the compression where I wanted it. It was necessary to keep the piston from smacking the head !!! The cranking compression will be approximately 240 psi when doing this. Remember, the connecting rods have their limits !! My pulling engine uses stronger rods than the ones you will use, so I can tolerate 300 psi of cranking compression.

was the "sample piston" already in an engine ?? If so, and i obviously did not hit the head, then the .170 or so has already been removed and designed into the NEW pistons ?
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

The sample piston was used in a WC/WD with a 4 inch stroke crank. Not a 4 1/2" stroke crank.

Do you have the specs that you used to get these made from ross. I contacted them but I don't have my motor apart to get the specs needed to get some built. I figure if I take the specs you used and take off the little bit off the top I should be able to drop it right in my motor and be good without having to machine anything else off the top. Or do you have a set that you would sell? Thanks in advance.

I have a set of AP-46 pistons that shows where they need relief cut for the valves if not milling the top off... LOL

Any concerns on these for the Side Reliefs around the Wrist Pin bores Galling or swelling from heat into Cylinder walls?  Or have they relieved the Sides to a larger clearance to Sleeves?  Had problems years ago with some aftermarket Cummins Pistons that had little to no Wrist pin area relief and would score the Cylinder under High Continuous HP deliveries.

They are, basically, a clone of the M&W pistons that have been used for years.

I have a set of 46MW with .170 removed I installed em and have 300 cranking psi should I take more off DR Allis I have started it but only at a idle with race gas at 20* timing hate to blow the rods out the side if it’s to much

It's been 40 years ago, but i thought mine ran 240 psi cranking compression, maybe 250 psi. I used D-17 conn rods. D-17 and newer rods are a little more stout than an old WC/WD rod. Always used 110 octane fuel or better. Timing was around that 18 to 20 degree BTDC.  Did you install new valves?? that were bigger diameter than stock valves ?? That could raise the compression a little. I wouldn't know how much to tell you to remove. It's only the outer edge, not the whole piston top.
