    Can anyone identify this piston ...

    Yes, it is a paperweight that I got many years ago. I forgot what it is from. I vaguely recall it is a 959 piston, but unsure.

    Interesting....Flat domed... pistons like these are often used in low compression.....
    TURBO... engines... The 4 valve pockets would suggest 959...
    which happens to be a Turbo engine.
