Just managed to free a siezed barrel of my new project a s1 li150, and found this
It sees to have bee filed all the way round th top of the piston, rings as well
Is this a piece of early italian tunining?

Its not the windows, its the filing/ grinding at the top of the piston ! i just can`t understand why they would do it. the only raeson i could think of was if the piston was a replacement oversize and they tried to file it to make it fit, and had to ram it in
