Default Piston Prep

Hey guys

I finally got my pistons for the 435 build. What’s the procedure for prepping all of the sharp edges on top and what tools/scotch brites do I need to smooth them out?
Thanks

Just take the sharp edges off with a scotch bride. Nothing special...

You’ed be better off using a paper type nail file board then scotch brite!

You need to roll over all the sharp edges by at least.005” and your not getting that done with scotch brite.
