In the old days, most pistons as ordered, did not come to the top of the block (deck) by varying ammounts.
It was common to use 4 1/8 pistons with a 4 1/4 crank.
The edge of the piston was then flush with the deck.
The heads were cut to fit.
Today you should always specify when ordering special pistons that they come flush to the deck. You could end up shy on compression otherwise.
