stock rod is 6.090
once you decide what rod you use thats is when you need to figure out what compression height for the piston.

Abdulla, did something happen to your motor? How is the new heads/cam combo doing?

Abdulla, keep in mind longer rods will sometimes need deeper valve reliefs to maintain piston to valve clearance. I still think they are a good idea.
