compression on a 318

So since 318s were made with compression ranging from 9.2:1 to 8.2:1 where is that extra compression coming from? since the cranks and rods didn't change is it in the pistons? If you are rebuilding can you increase compression just by using pistons designed for a 68-9 318? or is it designed in the combustion chamber?


Get a set of 10.5 compression pistons for a 318, then put some 340/360 heads on it and you will end up at 9.2 compression....
