ls1 piston info and compression? okay so i ripped the heads off my camaro last night after its been smoking for a good couple months to discover a hole in piston 7 and 2 cylinders that appear to have bad oil rings so a rebuild is in order my car is currently bone stock with the 241 heads witch if i have my research right that puts it on stock pistons at about 10.1 compression so my question is what do i need to know about pistons to pick the right one for my application i dont wanna go wild with it but id like to fully rebuild and set up for 93 only and about 400hp its not gonna be a track car just a fun daily so if some one can give me the basics of what i need to look for it would be nice i can rebuild a motor with a kit but have never strayed from stock internals so i dont wanna just throw parts at it and hope it runs okay with right power band so what do i need to know about the pistons heads and head gasket to figure out my compression ratio and whats right for me if any more info is needed please ask
