Sorry Mike, no pics. I didn't start photo documentation till later. However, it was essentially two semi circles cut at the diameter of its respective valve with depth increasing from the inside to the outside. Pretty much what you'd expect.

If you've got the E16 pistons with the concave center, you could just take a chunk out of the crown near the valve and call it a day.

Good luck!
