Well, since there are no answers....... Here is what I would do: First, I assume you have a standard piston to start with for comparison. If not, you will need one. Look at the sales brochure that has a picture of the standard and Super Sport pistons side by side. Make a photo copy and blow it up until the standard piston image matches a known dimension on the original piston. Then simply measure the other piston to get your dimensions for compression height. No, it won't be exact but will get you very close. From there, add material to a standard piston with clay and try the fit to be sure it works. I've done this a number of times in building a short coupled X roadster in order to get frame, muffler, header pipe and linkage dimensions. It works for me! gene ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hello and happy season , Will somebody please tell me the compression height of the hi-comp pistons of the super sport X? Thanks |
