Re:lowering compression

i just checked out that knology site.. the d16y8 pistons w/ the stock gasket drops to 8.2 but the .078" gasket and stock pistons runs 8.5. the negative dome in the y8 is bigger.

Re:lowering compression

Good call. They don't even make them.

Sorry man. Got your hopes up for nothing. Someday soon they will realize there is a demand for them and start producing them.
