For the pistons... I'm trying to identify similar features on my I6 (Thread: Help Identifying Mercury I6 Tower)
From all of the reading I have done, it is suggested that the ported piston is used in conjunction with a machined port on the cylinder block. If you look in my thread, I believe that the early distributor 150hp/late ADI 115hp i6 is piston ported and assume that the early distributor 115s were not ported. (I.E. having a piston port/port machined into the cylinder wall.) I have not been able to get a straight answer on this.
Given this information, to the best of my knowledge, I would assume that if you don't have a port machined into the cylinder wall, then you wouldn't have any reason to use the ported pistons with a notch.... Though I don't think any harm would come out of it...
What an awesome project... Wish I could find one of those motors for my Viper! Look forward to seeing the results!Last edited by NoRdO; 08-06-2017 at 07:10 PM.

The notch on the crown will actually make the transfer port open sooner and can cause all sorts of issues in a 2 stroke. The Piston port(hole in the side of the skirt) usually matches up to a machined slot in the cylinder wall, in an engine designed for it.

Correct, the right piston is the one with no hole and no notch.
The 1970 and 71 135hp and 1970, 71 and 72 115hp will have pistons like the correct pistons in your T2. "Replacement" pistons for the 135 are usually the new style with the notch - just because they fit the bore not because they are truly correct - so you either need a NOS or a good used 135 piston. The hole in the skirt isn't the problem, its the "eyebrow" notch that comes with the hole and the transfer/intake covers for the 140/150 series motors.

You really need a T2 firing order crank to use the T2 block because the T2 exhaust tuning is specific to the firing order. The best option without a T2 crank is to build up a suitable 150/ADI 115 to accept the second C-6 front. A 150 built up as such will be about 165 hp if done correctly, a std crank in a T2 is probably less than 155hp because the exhaust tuning will be so far off. Might even be a piston burner that won't even run more than a few minutes.

Do any engines use a high dome 2 ring piston with no power port? I just reread your post Sam and saw the 135 mentioned

Charlie,
Call Falicon on your crank. They are in Clearwater (727) 797-2468. I have used them on several watercraft, motorcycle, and snowmobile projects over the years. Good guys to deal with and very knowledgeable.
Joe

I was looking at the Pistons this morning, and putting them in the block. I really don't see a detriment to the Piston port, or it affecting the engine operation. When it gets down to bdc it may allow some fuel/ air that's compressed under the Piston crown to exit directly into the intake port passage. I'll try to get some pictures up tonight. Promarine makes a 2 ring hi dome 115 piston, I'll find out today if it has the port, and if it has a notch.

Somewhere in the darkest depths I may have some non ported piston.
