I have a set of these. They are a good NA piston.

I would not use them for a forced induction application.

The 73 and 73.5mm look a stronger design.

The flat topped 998 pistons will oil holes are great.

The dished 998 pistons are standard type.

I hope you ordered the right ones.

73mm is also +0.094" and gives 1360.

Are those Aussie ones imported 21253s or are they home made? Seems cheap though.

Don't worry I did my home work and went for the the flat tops ones with the holes.
