My pistons have no taper or diameter reduction on top.
These model engines have no hardened parts, camshafts, crankshafts, valve seats etc, so they can't run continuously for hours and hours, just a few minutes each time.
This means that they do not reach high temperatures, in my opinion the conical or smaller piston on top is not necessary.
Also the piston drawing , designed by Steve Huck does not require smaller on top.
In any case reduced on top it can be done, it is a technical perfection absolutely necessary for larger engines

Quite agree with you in all aspects.
 
You are making great progress can't wait to hear it run make sure you post a video if you can.

I hope the quality is satisfactory, I think it's made in China

I don't have a tilting vise but have seen Groz in a store that didn't look too bad. They are from India I think.

Like Asian tools, the quality can vary a lot for what looks generically like the same thing in a picture.

I know India well , I have been many times for business before my retirement
I still have Indian friends but the costs and transport times are too high from India to Italy
