I put the pistons side by side and was really amazed at the size difference. Needless to say my question was quickly answered before my eyes.  -ftyler | | |

It's a quick way to get a nice compression increase, and it really turns the old 250 on, especially with a little more camshaft at the same time. I've done it on several buildups with good results.
