Also, that makes the dynamic compression ratio 11.6… WAY too high for pump gas. "

lol
Your friend did his math wrong originally but it's still > 10:1 DCR... :o

Not to beat up on you about the pistons getting too hot but any time you can see a gap that big around a piston its obvious the piston melted away. I guess you thought i meant the broken area looked melted. Another sure sign a piston is getting hot is the shiny look to the edges of the piston. They should look exactly ike they went in the engine but with some carbon on then after the engine is run.
