When I built my 2.0 the machinist cut the dished mahle pistons down on top to make them flat, then machined the bottom of the cylinders to raise the compression to 8.5 to 1. Works great. This was done by Jay of Jay's Machine Shop in Santa Clara, CA. He is an old school machinist and has worked his fair share of Porsche engines in his time. |
