And So It Begins....

maybe these be better, on 2225 rod will be .075 below stander deck height, not quite as big round so leave a lil more meat to the cylinders...dome top but not real deep!

That would raise the piston top compared to the stock piston, but you would lose some compression with the dish. Also the pin is a smaller diameter, so the rod would need to be bushed. I don't know if that would be feasible, with a press fit.

Why don't we take this to another thread. We're hijacking RRR's thread
