(Dave New) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:13:46 PM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Hi comp pistons and engine source. From: "Dave New" Barry I have checked into higher comp pistons, for now I am going to stay with the 6.5-1 pistons for two reasons 1 is to use auto gas and the cylinders, pistons and rings only have 160 hrs on them. I did find some 10-1 pistons from a company and sent them a e-mail asking if there are any lower comp pistons like 8-1 or whatever and got no response. If you know of anybody providing 8-1 pistons or something in that range let me know.

There were a few STC done to increase the compression which increases the HP. The compression is increased by just changing the pistons. NOW! Being EXPERIMENTAL you do NOT have to purchase the STC, only the pistons. If you want more info let me know. Barry Hi Steve The engine is used, I got it from a fellow builder Robert Dingley from Zenith builders group. Has 2100 hrs total time and 160 hrs on cylinders. He was going to use it on a XL but decided to use a Jabiru instead. The engine has been sitting for awhile so will take it to local aviation collage to disassemble to inspect for rust and everything in general.
