Default Is this Kosher? Not seen 1.8T Piston Crowns like these.

Title says it all. Have worked on six 1.8T K-Series engines. Never seen that style of piston tops. Hence my question in the title.

1.8T Piston and Connecting Rod Assemblies.

TIA.

They look like 1400 pistons to me John, the only K series piston crowns I've seen like that are early 1400 K series, with cutouts to accommodate both 8v and 16v heads.

1800T pistons are the same as the VVC 1800, and have "160" dot marked on the centre of the piston

I'm sure these were only employed in the XW 200 series cars with damp liner engines John, I can't remember seeing them in later 1400, but it has been a while for me too since pulling a 1400K apart

That would make sense as they are marked as 1.4 K series pistons on the sale
