Re: 8V & 16V pistons question

["Craig Williams" <roccolister@hotmail.com>]

8V pistons have part of the combustion chamber built into them and the 16V
ones don't. Therefore if you tried to use 8V pistons with a 16V head, you'd
get very low compression and if you tried to use 16V pistons with an 8V head
you'd get very high compression.

Someone out that probably knows what the compression ratios would be, if
that's why you are asking.
