what other mods would I need to do to use the high compression pistions?
...as opposed to modifications....
I have not done this so I'm hoping for other input here.
But, it would seem logical to me to put in the 9.0 pistons (they come with the pins and rings) for less than $200. This gives a substantial improvement in performance - members, please correct me if I'm wrong - I am not proud.
If the cylinders are OK (as checked with the proper instrument) then all you need to do is some honing (never done that either, so please, forum members give some input here)
This way, after you have done the engine rebuild, not only do you have an engine good for another 50k but one that actually puts out the power that was it intended to do.
Cheers!
