The one on the right I would like to use if I wont have any problems with it. The one I want to use looks like someone cut valve pocket's and maybe the exhaust side cut out leans more to the right side not centered(maybe it's me), It's a really ruff sand casting on the top and the other one is machined (maybe different batch idk).The dome depth is the same on them both,I don't know if the taper is the same though. Any way will any of this and or any thing else give me a problem? Thanks. 182004

That's the difference between a forged piston and a cast piston. Honda typically used a cast piston. You can try running the cast piston but chances are good it will fail. What motor?

Probably safer that way. No sense going through all that work just to have the piston shell apart.

I agree 100% thank you. I just wanted to get someone to confirm what I thought.
