If removing from the top of the cylinder it should stick.

That looks to me like someone may have tried to do a reset.

It is hard to tell from the picture if that piston is domed, but I am inclined to think it is not. I have noticed that some of the older pistons have serrations that would be in the area that looks domed in your picture. I think the only way you would know for sure is to remove the cylinder, and take the piston out from the bottom. Andy

the cly don't want to come off and is in good shape I am not going to mess it up for no reason I am sure you understand.

It shouldn't be domed whatsoever.

It looks like someone tried to reset the 3 piece piston assy.

The cylinder of that vintage should be tapered, so it will not come out the top. Out the bottom only.

I don't see the dome, I do see the discoloration in a ring manner that could indicate a contour. Maybe a pic from directly sideways?
