Default why doesn't anyone make a flat top high compression (12.5:1+) piston?

Or if they do, where can I buy them?

Wouldn't it have to go past the block height, interfering with the head? It'd probably hit the valves too. Just a guess.

A flat top in a honda @12.5 will provide an improper area of quench Thus detonation will be a problem that will have be resolved

I'm not 100% sure either but I don't think 12.5:1 compression can be achieved with a flat top piston only.

There is nothing wrong with the piston extending say 30 thou past deck heigth actually this technique will minimize headgasket failure and unburned hydro's as well as provide a much better quench pad to absorb and redistribute detonation fractuals

In my 230 hp d16 i actually come out of the bore 43 thou to achieve 13.3 comp w a 31 cc Comb Chamber
