Piston differences

I know the pics are bad, but can you see the difference in the dome (terminology?) size? Two cylinders on each side are small and two are big. Is this a normal thing to see? Couldn't help but be curious, first time for me to be a part of digging this deep in the ol' 6.0l. Truck is an '06.

Did you measure them? They look the same size to me, but it's hard to tell from picture like that.

Here's some pics you can compare.





If you can tell, my pistons weren't exactly round, if that's what you're concerned with. Hope this helps.

The dome in the middle of your piston bowls all look to be the same size, the ones in this truck are noticeably different. I might stop by that shop on the way home and if the cab is still in the air I'll try to get a better pic.
