Seems to be a great deal on the car. And a great car too.
agree about the pistons.
They're called 8 valve relief (8VR) most commonly.
Cheapest on the market, Cast - not Forged
and have a crazy chamfer around the perimeter at top.
Said to be potential for lots of issues.
I'd still go for under 9.5 CR
with some D shaped dishes on forged pistons with high quality rings.
i think they were just slinging a number with claimed 9.0

Thanks!
All the info that I have found shows that style piston to have less than 8:1 compression.
It looks like I'll be going through the engine to make sure everything is right. A new set of forged flat tops will call fro rebalancing the rotating assembly.
I'lll most likely install a set of forged ones like these made by Sealed Power. Unless somebody else has some other suggestions
I'm all ears.....
I should be able to fine tune the compression by using head gasket thickness.
