Thanks for the input sendler.
We don't have all the answers yet but we will most likely have a piston made for us. We will probably use a head from a 50cc range engine and make that work. Our piston will give us the higher compression ratio. In the past for our gas engines we have welded on top of them and then took off material til we get the ratio we wanted.
The head is one of our biggest question marks right now so I don't really have a good answer for all your questions yet.
