Sup guys, ill get straight to the point i just wanted to know if stroker pistons are the same as regular. i can only see one difference in them and that is compression. im asking b/c im doing a rebuild and just buying pistons for now and might want to go stroker when i get the money and bored. might be a dumb Q but im just confiming thanks.

Stroker pistons have the wrist pin moved up 6 mm higher than stock. This allows TDC to be at the top of the bore with the 12 mm longer stroke of the 4G64 crankshaft.

Don't put stroker pistons in a 4G63 with the stock 88 mm stroke. The top of the piston would end up 6 mm down in the bore at TDC and the compression ratio would be much lower than the specified value.
