I was born and bred and still live in the West Indies. I live under a coconut tree on the white beach sands and drink rum all day long. I drive my race car in short pants with open toed rubber slippers and my helmet is a Straw Hat with a tight shoelace round the neck.
I've owned VET pistons and I don't think they are forged. The dome is machined and it gives an appearance of forged piston(I'm not a metallergist so don't take my word for it) . I do think it's a better piston than the old DET.
Has anyone ever used a VE head on an Avenir block and ran N1 cams without nicking a valve? I'm not sure if there is enough valve relief on the DET pistons if you run N1 cams
