Is there an ideal piston compression height?

[turbobitt]

Thanks for sharing your specs Allan, much appreciated.
3.59" BMS crank
6.5" Crower Ti rods
New JE pistons, as long as they measure right

Guess I need to buy rings and bearings and get this thing together.

Any suggestions on rings or bearings? TA for all bearings? I want to say those pistons are cut for metric ring packs. Any suggestions on those?

Looking at my notes I used CB1398H rod bearings and 107M for mains.
Rings were JE p/n JG3101-4000-7
Check and see what size rings you need and make sure they are the same size.

Sweet, thank you!

Are these the better cam bearings from TA?:

I don't have any notes on what I used on cam bearings. My machinest got them and installed them. I think they were durabond.

I'm not so sure its a standard molly ring. But if it was its better than you running standard GM valves.

Allan, my motor is a test mule in the car now...it has moly rings also, the rings I want only come in 4.00 and larger bore sizes. Nothing wrong with moly , but I intend to run big boost:: on the next build. Please read the pdf file and determine what works best for your application.
