has anyone purchased tomei pistons? if so i would like a very detailed pic of them cuz my ca18 has aftermarket pistons in it but tomei does not label their pistons with their logo, i noticed tomei pistons have a number 856 on them mine have the same marking on the bottom of the piston, but its written on! the markings are to point to what way the piston sits in the cylinder wall, but yeah if anyone has an idea as to tell what kind of pistons these are plz help me out

thanks!

easy way to tell is if the oil squirter goes into a cooling channel in the piston.. and not just dumps oil on the piston skirt bottom etc.. the TOMEI ones i have seen for SR's also have cooling fins under them
