Hahaha...nice one Bigmike...but seriously...u can swap both d15 and d16 pistons with each other. U can't swap the rods, cause of different journal sizes, but the pistons do change out. How do i know this? Cause for ----'s and giggles i built a d16a6 mini-me with d15b2 flat top pistons to see if there was a difference. Worked great, just sat above the deck of the block. So by swapping a d16 piston into a d15, u are lowering your C/R by a hella lot (pm6's are dished)at the cost of your piston not traveling to the "normal" deck height. In my opinion...not even worth doing though. Just my two cents.
