Piston question's

[greco400]

I was thinking bout get 11:1 compression either je or ross piston if i got the piston and its advertized for 11:1 and i heard stories that they is not the right compression so what would i have to do with out sending my motor out to somebody to get it deck thanks!

you can put honda bond or just one layer of the base gasket on to help with getting the true compression. i would recomend a flex steel head gasket like a cometic gasket for the head with the higher compression to help keep from blowin head gaskets.

Thank you for the fast reply so cosmetic gaskets what thickness for the headgasket and what thickness for the bottom
I still confused if i get a 11:1 it won't be a true 11:1 so what could i do with out decking the cylinder

anybody?

i dont know what thinkness cometic makes on the head gaskets right off hand.
on the base gasket just get a stock one and peel off one layer of it and use that one layer only or just get a tube of honda bond and use that instead. this will help you get more of the compression out of it. you may need to call and find out what thickness the flex steel gaskets are and if they come in several different thickness's then get the thinist they have and it will help further with compression. call C&D and ask them about the head gasket.
