Offset bowl pistons.
Morning all, I've never used these, does the bowl sit away from the plug or toward the plug. Thanks. 

Re: Offset bowl pistons.
Towards the plug, the idea of the offset bowl is to concentrate the mixture around the plug. Supposedly giving a better burn.

Re: Offset bowl pistons.
I reckon you mean the likes of "MINI SPARES EVOLUTION LIGHTWEIGHT PISTON" with offset dish.
If I rememeber rightly the offset dish is supposed to show toawrds the front of the engine, i.e. where the main chamber in the head is positioned.

Yes I am a nerd: I am researching the Austrian Mini-racing scene of the 60s and 70s
