Allegedly 7cc with the cutouts. Custom made by Omega.

I'd measure those. They seem much bigger than 7cc.

I was planning on measuring them anyway.

I wonder if they were already stamped 7cc before the cutouts were machined ?

I agree with V that they look more than 7cc (but the reflections from the photos might be deceptive).

They do look nice though :)

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I've just dropped MED a quick question asking if they are 7cc including or excluding dish. But apparently they come from Omega with the dish in so I would be surprised if they were stamped pre-cutout?

I'll still be measuring though.

Exactly. Every cut out is ATLEAST 1cc.

Just had confirmation from MED 7cc + cutouts.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

My understanding is that MED bought in 40 sets of pistons and with help from a certain conversion specialist had a CNC program written to cut the dishes.

So 7cc plus cut-outs makes sense.

The understanding was that the conversion company would buy the pistons, but they dropped out leaving MED holding the baby.

Shame for MED but bully for me.

Apparently they've pretty much shifted the lot now. All the flat tops have gone and they only had 2 sets of 7cc jobbies left when I'd ordered mine.

went for the 7cc dished ones

i noticed they took the flat tops off the website so they must all be gone

so which 16v head are they cut out for? k head?

one day boost will be mine!

Mine are on the way too :)
Just need to build and fix everything else now.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered a set to Aus - would have preferred the forged jobs but at that price it's hard to argue!

Did anyone get a set of these in flat tops who would like to swap?
