I would like to build a D16Z6 with an outcome of 10.5:1 to 10.7:1 compression. I know If use the A6 piston, mill the head and block .020 and use a 2 layer gasket I can achieve this. I would like to achieve this by not milling the block as it is not required and by doing a std .005 mill on the head for flatness. I was thinking about the PM3 or P03 piston, but understand I may not beable to do this because the PM3/PO3 has a higher deck height than the flush P28 (D16Z6) piston. When using the calculator (http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/D.htm) I'm unsure what to input into the deck height field for the PM3.

I have read that the height difference is minimal and the additional height would be taken up by the head gasket. I'm unsure if valve clearance would be an issue and again what I would end up for compression.

I do not want to get into the 11.0:1 + which the PG6B's would produce.

Great question. You'd have to cc the head you are using and from there figure out the volume your piston will take up, and then figure out where you'd want TDC to be. Then work back from TDC to your crank, and that will give you rod length... and just have custom rods made and voila.
