I have 2 NEW OLD STOCK brand new sets of piston kits complete for 77mm engines X-FLOW , these are AE brand have a very slight raised dome, $600 a set plus shipping, ...located in Picton Ontario

Are these the Lotus pistons with the raised crowns on the pistons? Thanks.
-
Are any of these for the big valve engine
-
Stock Lotus Twin Cam bore is 82.5mm (3.25"). These pistons are for a Renault engine. 77mm pistons are for the 1565 engines (1470 use 76mm pistons). Whether they are the correct HC pistons we don't know yet.

pistons are for the X-Flow head , Lotus used Renault engines up till late 1970, I will post pictures this week , I also have a piston kit for Fuego engine, 79mm

Interesting pic in the OP.
I don't think I've ever seen a cross-flow piston that didn't also have a similar tapered section opposite the squish allowance one. I wonder what compression ratio they might produce.
What diameter are the gudgeon pins and are they press fit or the fully floating variety?

21 mm , not free floating , sorry I have no part number for the kit
