if you put the c20let pistons into a silver top zetec ,and dont deck the block you are looking at 7.4.1 compression

If thats true, I would imagine the XE ones must be about eight and a half in the same engine.

About 8.2 from memory.

Utter waste of time these days though unless you are on a tiny budget, have second hand pistons and a free machine shop.

Better off getting a set of cheap forged ones from the states that fit right in.
