just asking cos just looking at a piston rod combo on the us ebay and the c/r is for a n/a engine
any thoughs
thanks
p.s sorry for hiijacking the thread peeps
nah m8 i just brought the pistons off the shelf maybe not the cleverest thing to do with my cvh head at first i had a c/r 8:4:1 so i had no choice but to use a 1.2mm de-comp plate giving me 7:8:1. the americans dont like low comp engines.
machining the chambers would cost you £180 i dont know off hand how much cc you would gain or just buy pistons with the correct c/r 9:0:1 alot of the ameicans call that low comp lol
