Good eye there Chris.....I will be doing all four but was only able to lay hands on 2 used gears.
So I have to make some calls to locate a second set :thumbup:

You can file out the slots in standard ones, they're hard but a good file will still work.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Bridgeport and a rotary table is my preferred way but a file or dremel will do :thumbup:
Plus it is easier to do by hand, if needed, now that I have a set of patterns. :D

Yes it is different. The Mori piston are 10.4:1 (or the same as a SP1\2 for reference) , so a bit lower than the JE pistons but on the plus side that gives you a bit more leeway to work on the heads without getting the compression too high.
