The CH I use, is the replacement piston, that TRW made in 1978, L912F.

So, something isn't right.

It all depends on the stroke - the piston you're using has a different or wrong CH. If I modify my CAD model to use a different crankshaft stroke, then the CH has to change in order for the piston to be zero-decked. The end deck height remains the same.

Note: Their dimension for 'Comp Dist' is wrong - here are the basic numbers for the different strokes - which are easy to calculate - just add/subtract from the numbers in my drawing (based on 1/2 the stroke change/difference):

3.750 = 1.561
4.000 = 1.436
4.125 = 1.374 (what my drawing shows - as that is the crank I'm using)
4.250 = 1.311

PS: The drawing is correct - the math works out and matches the 'stocking' pistons that Ross and others supply. What is your math?
