higher compression

[strongpants]

hey guys apart for buying high compression pistons for the h22 (mahle gold series) what other add ons do i need to effectively realize hp gains from high compression...

well new multilayer steel headgasket, rods, obviously new piston rings. i would also get new rod and crank bearings.

Pistons are the only thing you NEED to raise compression, unless of course you simply want to mill the head. A combination of both would do a great deal to raise this numerical value. But as was said you would need a multi-layer steel head gasket. You're going to be squeezing the life out of your air/fuel mixture so combustion temperatures will increase making a good gasket nice to have. Rod and main bearings would be a good idea here simply for the fact that you're doing a rebuild.

Rods? Since when do you need rods to raise compression? You still on Glory's bandwagon?

If you're getting high compression pistons you soooo need to get a thicker headgasket. Yea, thicker headgasket will get you even higher compression

Come again? MIght as well change the rods if changing pistons, stock rods wont hold any nice power numbers.

They'll do what any N/A F22 will throw at it. Especially with new bearings on them and the mains. Sorry, I just thought you were tlking about longer rods like Glory posted about a couple of months ago.

so any good names for rods, mains and head gasket...i already decided on mahle for the pistons simply because i wont have to sleeve the block because i am using the gold series pistons..
i appreciate all your help

Great choice on the pistons, you wont go wrong with Mahles.

for bearings I used Toga high performance bearings for main and rod bearings, Felpro Permatorque MLS head gaskets are really good. rods you have eagle, crower and dh-racing sells some. I also went with a toga high volume oilpump. be sure to have your crank polished as well, if u'll pull the block.

thanks for the advice bro!!!
