I assume you are talking about the stock piston? I couldn't tell you why they bothered with those fly cuts in the piston being so deep. They are usually included for valve clearances, but they are exceptionally deep, especially considering the piston sits so far down into the cylinder at TDC.
The big bore cylinder has been decked about 2mm and the cutouts are much smaller. Some of that may be due to it being a flat top piston instead of the slight dome the normal pistons come with, but the stock piston dome isn't very pronounced either. Valves still clear without issue with my 292 cam installed.
