Piston Compression Height

[Snapperpaul]

Any one know the compression height of the 2.8 V6 Kolbenschmidt piston.

I know that the standard pinto 2.0L piston has a height of 41.6mm and i know the V6 is shorter but not by how much.

Do you mean the length from crown to skirt of the actual piston?

Crown to gudgeon pin

Now answered my own question, height difference is -1.5mm so i may be 0.87mm lower than standard even with my thinner gasket and therfore a little down on compression.

Burtons said that a set of Cosworth YB rods are 1.5mm longer, i missed a set on ebay earlier. Have a set of Diesel con rods but they are 3.2mm longer so would need to get the pistons skimmed.

nothings easy is it.
