Question Accralite pistons + CR lower(about 7,50:1)‏

Hey!

I'm interested in acquire the Accralite forged 81,5mm pistons and I wonder if it is possible to skimm the pistons so I could get a CR about 7,50:1...Both head and block where not skimmed, just surfaced.how much would be needed to skimm the pistons (just to know and be able to)


regards

thanks for the reply, I have a accralite assembled, bought on ebay but the seller, he said that the compression ratio was 7.8:1.
Were skimmed 015 "(3.81 mm) according to the inscription that it was at the top of the piston, I am finding this value too high to be skimmed ..

Is it the correct value (3.81 mm skimmed) to reach 7.8:1?
