Here's a set of new pistons on ebay. They say the are reduced in height by .010" and are made this way by Mahle. Is this a 18:1 piston???

I used these pistons in my engine. I also shortened my rods by boring my wrist pin bushings .010" off center. I also did some machining on my heads to further reduce the compression. I think my engine is just a little lower than 18:1 compression. It smokes pretty bad on start up when the temps get down to 0 F.

These pistons are used to compensate for a milled deck surface. They will only lower the comp ratio about 1 point on a non-milled block.
It's buyer beware with this guy! He just changed his user name and started again on E-bay after too much negative feedback.
