I want to get more "squeez" in a E Gleaner engine. Plan on using the 4.5 crank and flat top WD pistons. Can I use the WD rods, I think maybe they are a little longer. Would like 9-10 to 1 compression ratio.

Darn it, John, I thought I was onto sumptin. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I wanted to meet you at Dale's and my buddy and I made several passes by your truck but we didn't connect. We did get to meet Dennis SIl though and now I've got a face for a name. I moved one of their tractors to the display line.

I was all over the place, trying to do what I could to help. Sorry we didn't meet up.
