I am contemplating going to higher compression pistons on my F22B1 motor. Top end work I've had done is: port and polish, port match intake manifold, milled the head .008 (for flatness after blown head gasket), and 3 angle valve job. Only other mods are I/H. I am looking at a piston to put my compression at 11:1(before the mill). I know that's big jump, and I am looking for input on what I should be concerned with. I'm sure some of you F22 NA guys know what these motors can take, so let's hear it! Is detonation going to be a problem? Should I run cooler plugs, or just higher octane gas? Can stock rods handle this compression?

 

If you want 11:1 off the shelf.... try the raceeng.com custom spec Wiseco's or if you are brave try the Arias...


Custom is the way to go if you have the $$$ though...

 

you better patient to see what RS machines and bisimoto will release their product for this F-serries,

 

Yeah, I was actually looking at the raceeng.com pistons. Can I run the rest of the motor with stock internals (rods, rod bearings.... )? They have their pistons on sale right now for $299. Seems like a good price. So, any red flags on this one? This is my first motor project, so I'm hoping you guys can keep me straight on this.

Thanks,
Brent

You'd wanna plan on doing this for your grandson....

So I guess I shouldn't wait for them?

Okay, back to the motor. No one has any additional thoughts on this build?

raceeng.com 11:1 pistons in an f22b1. What do you guys think? Are stock rods gonna cut it? Any other concerns I should be aware of?

 

I went with the 11:1 Wiseco's, but bought the Crower billet rods to go with them. If your tearing the whole thing apart, it's better to do it right the first time.
