i had a few engine builders recommend putting zc pistons into a D16, will increase compression ratio but not too sure how much..maybe a few points..you could do that or you could just mill your head.

The rods are the same, but the pistons have the wrong dome shape to fit under a Z6 head.

It will crash.

You can use the ZC pistons under a A6 non VTEC head and get about 10.7-11.1 compression.
