(5k) Flat Top Or Dished

[TRD ke70]

how to tell if the 5k you're about to buy has flat top pistons without pulling the head off.

(works 99% of the time)

 

First the dished piston head should have 2 luggs cast into the head, one under No1 spark plug hole and the other under No4(see pic)(7k head shown)

 

5K's fitted with flat top pistons DON'T have this casting.

 

this also works with 4k's, i think 4k-u has dished pistons.
