Don't do it. Use D16A6 pistons with a milled head.

a6 pistons (what i should have done in the first place) bump your compression to 10: something (same with 91), i did the PM7 thing and i havent calculated the comp ratio, but i know when i run 91 with mad octane booster i knock even with my timing all the way back...only when i run 100 octane it runs so strong its scary...i wish i would have done a6 pistons with a big cam...also the valve relifes on the PM7's are at a diff angle then the valves on the z6 head .....
