I did a search and came acroos nothing that really answers my question in depth.Im am planing on running a LS all motor,with the help of crower.I was woundering wich way to go about the compression.I orderewd CTR standard size piston.With a stock head gasket.Now according to c-speed racing that will give me the compression i want (12:1).But would it be simpler to send the head out to endyn and have them mill the head.Now I dont know if they can mill it far enough.Can they.I would rather tear the bottom apart but my real question is do i have to modify the stockLS rods to fit the CTR pistons.And if so in what way.Wrist pin in wrong place?Or what.Thank you for all the help in advance.Im a newbie so bear with me.Peace.

 

WHat is up with everyone and Endyn!!! DON"T DO ANYTHING WITH THEM.
one man shop. That screws a lot of people stuff up.

N-E-way, to answer your question. It would be much more reliable to do the pistons. Milling will make it that much easier for the timing belt to slip.

hmmm. i never thought of that.

 

Small end of the LS rod needs to be machined to accept CTR/ITR/GSR pistons. (edit: LS rod is too wide at the small end to fit CTR pistons) Milling the head to up compressionis kind of bass ackwards IMO. I would go with pistons.
