Me too, honestly. It's more of an experiment than anything, I don't have high hopes, but maybe?

Since when do longer rods increase stroke?
To increase compression, I can do quite a few things, ranging from taller pistons, to longer rods, increased stroke, and even decking the head/block.
Some diesel engines run as low as 16:1 compression, while others pull out all the stops and slam out 21-30:1 compression.
There are alot more factors involved than static compression ratios, though.
