Aww, yeah.

Sweet.

now you've got to drill a whole bunch of little holes on the top behind the ring lands (gas porting)

Hehe,
I've done this to my pistons - helps maintain high compression.
you need to drill (about every 5-10 degreees apart) very small holes on the top of the piston so that the holes just end up into the top ring land behind the top ring.
This forces gas behind the top ring during the compression and power strokes forcing it harder against the cylinder - creating a better seal.
Does it work - sure, but at the cost of faster wear. But who cares - I usually do a complete tear down and rebuild every 2 years.

Lots of work - unless you have the right equipment - then it's very simple and quick.

Ahh, so i learned something new. I probably won't go that route, i want this motor to last, but it's good to know. Thanks.
