Well, compression height is in reference from teh pin to teh top of teh piston (not downwards) Compression height is VERY critical in how long of a rod and much much stroke you can put into a block. Shorter the compression height is teh "weaker" teh piston, and one that is not good for forced induction motors. That is why anything more than a 4.00 stroke in our blocks, is not ideal for forced induction, because of how short the compression height.
Reguardless of your measurements (in the hole, out of hole, etc...) you HAVE to check PTV. You just have to, ESPECIALLY with a domed piston
Edit: The reasons above is why it is SO IMPORTANT to get teh right engine builder, because NOTHING can be taken for granted. You can NEVER assume ANYTHING when putting a motor together. Check, then double check. And that is why GOOD machine shops charge what they charge, because it takes time to do it right!
