A longer rod, with no change in piston, will reduce the space above the piston both at BDC and TDC - effectively bringing the piston closer to the head, rather than the head closer to the piston. A .010" longer rod has the same effect on compression as a .010" thinner head gasket or block skim.
You then have the issues of piston-to-head clearance and rod-to-block clearance. And is such a rod actually available? If the next step up is .500" longer, that would put the piston clean through the head, so it's not a solution. Probably easier and cheaper to go for high compression pistons and a head skim, per tickford_6.

The only up side to it is you are saving 0.5mm in timing chain slack, which is minimal and not worth worrying about. Even if you could buy them, they aren't going to be of any real help in getting the compression the OP was asking about. The money would be better spent on a set of pitons with a dome that matches the shape of the chamber. |

Well i ask atomic performance about some pistons they told me about 1800$ for some to be made up.. but i was thinking going acl not to sure on the price on these and i say it would be a better option?
