Lml piston install

[1FastBrick]

What was piston to deck height before- and after- the build? Did you use the same thickness replacement headgaskets or just go with Cs like most do? So many variables......
Not as familiar with Mahle delipped pistons as Id like, but are their bowls the same size as a stock delip would be or are they smaller? Reason I ask is that compression should've dropped a point or so.
Where's Jon? He'll know for sure.

Tom, I believe they have a reduced height. I have only done the one motor and they were .020 over sized. I also had my block decked to make sure it was flat and get a better surface finish. My block was already past the service limit at standard.

Here is the label from my set for my LBZ

I was trying to upload a video but it was to long or something, so I put those pistons in and put c gaskets on it it probably lowered the compression quite a bit, sooo it would make the engine sound a whole lot different?

You need to upload it to a hosting site like YouTube then link it here to show a video

Sounds pretty good to me. Only thing I can hear that may be off is a hiss like an exhaust or boost leak

Other than that ungodly whistle, it seems fine to me.
