    Default Ebay Engine...

    Well I won the bid on this ebay motor...

    I wonder if I can have the pistons machined to a lower compression?

    Exclamation

    If it's the same guy, it sounds like he knows his stuff. Which means that you just may have picked up a nice winner!!


    [Devil's Advocate ON] Would it be easier to just purchase another set of lower compression pistons versus reworking a set we (presumably) know works and just swap them out? [/Devil's Advocate OFF]

    Pistons are $500/set.
