Ok, I have been searching for pistons for my build up. I keep finding that some places show that the E and De are using same pistons and some are using separate ones.

Is there any difference between the pistons other than the dish or dome CC?

Also is there a difference between the head CC of the E and DE?

I would really like to know to make sure I get the right compression ratio I want. Thanks again guys. So far everyone has been very helpful.

The head and pistons are different on both models. One is a DOHC and one is a SOHC. Using E pistons in a DE motor will result in very high compression.

In short, get the pistons made for your model.
