The pistons are CP flat tops to give 10.3:1 compression with my cylinder heads.  Ring package is 0.9mm/0.9mm/3mm, with a standard tension oil ring.

Geez!  I'm having a bit of size envy. 

Today I was CNC machining some 1 inch pieces of brass and aluminum on the Mini Mill.  I felt pretty good about my day until I logged on here...

Hah! Big mill envy I guess! Now that's funny.......

Jay's setup is impressive. For sure it's all about having the right tools for the job. I have a Dremel and that gets me in plenty of trouble. Ha!
