zboi Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I was doing some thinking and think that I have discovered an excellent trick to get some higher compression and better piston rod characteristics from a stock dish piston setup. I don't have the parts in my hands to take exact measurements, but it seems like you can take an L28 with dish pistons, swap in 240z rods (2.65mm longer) and then remove about 2.15mm from the dish piston tops. This should get them to be basically a flat top, with depending on head gasket and block deck height, a nice tight clearance. You get the performance benefits of better rod ratio, smaller trapped area between top ring and piston top, and higher compression for minimal costs. Anybody do something like this before?
