I need help I am doing a 6bolt swap into my 2G and I'm having the block built from the ground up. I am using a 1g big rod and 2g piston combo but the problem is that the pistons are sticking up .0128 of an inch. the pistons are supposed to be the same as factory. I would like to know what pistons that I should buy that will work I want 8:5-1 compression ratio so please help me.

You mean the pistons are sticking up from the block deck surface? I would look into how much material was machined off of the block, first.

I asked the guy how much was taken off and if this block had been sufaced before and he replied that the block had never been sufaced and he didnt take that much off.
How much should he have taken off in the first place because I am going there tomarrow to take in my 2g pistons out of my seven bolt to compare them with the ones he got for me and I could find out about the machining then
