Default MINI ME BUILD, WHAT PISTONS? NEED HELP?

IF I DID A MINI ME, WOULD I HAVE TO USE THE PISTONS FOR THE A6 BLOCK, OR USE THE PISTONS FOR THE Z6 HEAD?

You can use either pistons,,just depends what compression you're looking for..The pm6 d16a6 pistons will give higher compression ratio then the p28 d16z6 pistons..

If you use the A6 pistons, which has been done a zillion times in the past, remember that the valve reliefs are different in the pistons compared to the Z6 pistons.

SO IF I USE THE A6 BLOCK WITH THE PM6 PISTONS, IT WILL BE OK, IT WONT DAMAGE THE VALVES ON THE Z6 HEAD.

the tricky thing is when you use pm7/p29 pistons

not noticable, no. but it might be noticed as detonation depending on the condition of your motor...so use decent gas.
