    For the past several months I've been building an engine for a good friend. The engine will ultimately end up in a 1934 Dodge coupe. I started with a badly stuck Chrysler Poly (early hemi based) from a 1957 Windsor. All but one of the pistons had to be split in half to get them out of the bores. I gave the remaining whole piston to him figuring that it would be a display piece he'd set on a shelf.

    Today this showed up in a plain brown box.

    cool, how was that done? On a 5 axis CNC machining center? or 3d router? or maybe with a really steady hand?

    I'm guessing really steady hand considering how some of it looks, but would also like to know how it was made.

    Ha I was about to say "Destroy ring lands and send them out the block!" Glad I'm not the only one with that talent.
