I finally found a place locally that carries the badger flat tops.

His book said that with my 76cc combustion chamber i would have like 10:1 compression which sounds a little high. I dont know if its accurate or not it also said that the pistons only came in like .30 over bore and .60 but they called their distributor and they only had like .20 and .40?

my other question is should I really go through this hassle to find the flat tops or should I just go with the damn dished pistons? will changing the compression make noticable distance with my 400 hot rod magazine copy build up??

here is my advice. get 351C flat tops and bush the rods. its a lot easier. it works the same, and in some builds it might be better.

Sounds expensive, how much is it for the machine work?
