Jay,
     I'm sorry but the motor has gone together. I tried to take a photo when I was putting on the block but the camera battery died while I was focusing. The next night the cylinder head was on it. I'm running the DP295 cam with a little advance. With stock valve lash for this cam it spins over by hand with no binds, noises, or issues. Since this effort is to race the bike on Saturday this week at Virginia Motorsports Park at the Cup event, I can't go slow building it. I took Sam's advise that the wider valve pocket was for the exhaust valves in their two locations in the motor. All the pistons are exactly the same. Bill Benton has taken a picture of the piston that I'm using in a group piston shot that he's used on the forum a while ago. Bill may be able find the picture and post it here. Sorry, but that's the best that I can do under the circumstances. I appreciate everyone's input. Saturday's time slips hopefully will tell if my educated guess was right.

Bike got together minus it's exhaust on Thursday night. It spins over on the starter just fine. I brought the header and clamps with me to attach at the track. I didn't try to fire up the motor Thursday night since I hadn't purchased gas. (I didn't think that I'd get that far). Got up and driving at 6:20 am on Friday morning. Arrived at the hotel at 9:30 pm in Richmond, VA. About 20 minutes later I found out that Sam had crashed on his first time trial while I was driving down there. Other topics on this forum cover the injuries, the life flight, and the extended stay at a local hospital that Sam is going through. Racing became unimportant this weekend. I didn't touch my bike while down there. I left Monday at 6:10 am and arrived home at 10:20 pm. The drive was "challenging" both ways. Here's the only picture of the pistons that I have:

Head gasket has nothing to do with the pistons I'm using.
