Help with my vitara build!
so i'm wanting to do my vitara build with a d16a6 block with custom eagle rods to d15 length. But in doing this i will lower the compression significantly. So to resolve this issue and take the compression to where i would like i was thinking about milling the block to 205mm. D16a6 block stock is 212mm and the d15b2 block is 207mm. Does anyone see a problem with milling 7mm of the top of the d16a6 block which will make it 2mm shorter than the d15b2 block?

the point would be to keep a d15 length rod for strength over a d16 rod (both eagle h beams) and since using a shorter rod and vitara pistons you will have a way low compression so if you mill the block down on the d16 7mm it will bring the compression up to 9.33:1 thats why. If you think about it it will take the d16 block down to 205mm which is only 2mm shorter than the d15 block
