No, the only team turning any pistons is Hendrick.

Last I heard couple years ago.

A place called Combustion Technologies was roughing their billets, then finished in house.

Childress tried to, then gave up.

Most are on Mahle or Pankl these days.

Designing/making pistons not as easy as it sounds, the machining and inspection equipment is spendy.

Yes, some cut pockets & dishes a little deeper, but not so much that it ruins top groove flatness.
