Stupid Idea I reckon !
( hope I don't have to explain )
I think it's a pretty bad idea in the first place using a crimps to hold the whole thing together, would the deeper crimps and the new crimps make the piston even more out of round? (yet another problem they've had) surely they should realise that the metal has to go somewhere when it gets compressed and it doesn't always go inwards.
