I have a '89 3.9 Rover engine with a 8.13:1 comp. ratio. I would much prefer 10 to 10.5:1. What is the best way to achieve; /html/buick-rover-v8/2004-05/msg00001.html (7,566 bytes)

A thicker gasket will lower that some. As far as I know, no machining is required to pistons or head to make; /html/buick-rover-v8/2004-05/msg00005.html (9,184 bytes)

Preignition can be a very serious problem with higher compression ratios and less than adequate octane levels. I've rebuilt engines that needed pistons because of this.
