I am about to start putting my C113 engine back together. The local machine shop ordered the new sleaves, piston etc, and today he told me that the pistons have a dome top. Now I've heard of dome pistons before, and I know that they increase compression and therefore horsepower; but that's not really that important to me. My question is, is there any down side to these pistons ? Should I send them back. My concern is that the additional power is going to be stressing the other parts of the engine or tractor. The original pistons were flat. Thanks all.
