I have a 6.200 rods, +2cc flat top pistons, and 59cc patriot stage II heads. I didn't realize until now that the rods were 6.2 not 6.125. What are my options to make this work? Obviously new rods or pistons but is there any other way I can make this work? Any ideas are welcome.

Do i need to change to 6.125 or all the way to stock? I thought there might be a way to play with the crank to get it to work but maybe not.

Right now I'm running a stock crank though I'm debating changing to a 4' stroker crank. The pistons are a problem since they're +2cc flat tops.
