With so many cylinders, you practically have a factory set up; not many parts that you only have to make one of. Machining looks really nice.

Very cool. I couldn't figure out what was going on with the yellow tinged bottom in the first picture of the inside piston machining. Then I realized it was full of coolant. What did you use to machine the inside of the piston, a small ball end cutter?
