Why is it warped?
Just use high comp pistons if you are rebuilding it instead of shaving the head to bump up the comp. If you shave too much it wont run on pump fuel and it will ping its a*** off, from high comp. |

Dont always just do what other people do dude, Might find it doesnt work the same on your motor
 Maybe have a talk to your engine builder about it  he can shed a professionals light on the subjectHow spewin would you be if you rebuilt the motor and the comp was too high  ping city...Pretty sure acl do a couple of pistons for the 4.0 |

it dont matter if you use high compression pistons or shave the head when you raise the compression so you will need a higher octane fuel to stop if from pinning.

Id be talking to somewhere who has had a few good 4.0,s built to compare to before i gave them any cash,they sound a bit unsure dude. You could spend 5 grand on a 4.0 but if its not tuned right it wont go

if you dont raise the comp to much it will be fine. and if you are contemplating boost then leave the comp how it is.
and you dont need forgies if it is going to be NA go with the au motor as they have lighter pistons and a better bottom end. and how much power are you chasing. |
