3.2 piston question
 
I'm sure somewhere in this vast wealth of P-car knowledge someone will know the answer to this: Is it possible to mill down a set of stock 3.2 pistons (US version) "slightly" to lower compression? (for obvious reasons) I have heard of this being done on the 3.6 but I'm not sure if its ever been done on the 3.2
Thanks in advance!

My limited research prior to my engine rebuild suggests you can use a thicker base gasket to lower the CR to achieve the same thing?

lower compression with the base gaskets. then you dont start with the balance puzzles

Hi

I also looking for a easy way to lower the compression on my Euro spec. engine and a thicker gasket seems to be god way.

is it somthing I can buy (or do I have to make on on my on) is there any problem with cam chains after that (the tensioner scouold take care of it) how much is needed to hit 8.5:1?

I hope people are trying to lower compression in order to add forced induction and not because the fuel has become so crappy?
