3SGTE Rods and Pistons (stock specs), Looking for aftermarket brand with stock specs Options

[nemesis]

Hey 6GC friends,

It's been a minute since I have been on here. Happy new year to all of you.

Regarding the pistons for the 3SGTE All-trac motor: is 8.5:1 the stock compression?
The JE Pistons/Rods combo I find on ebay has a compression ration of 9.0:1

See link below:

p.s. Does anyone know where I can obtain the stock specs on both the rods and pistons for the 3SGTE?

Thanks in advance!

In regards of the piston manufacturers compression ratio spec is off of different head gaskets.

for example, CP list their pistons at 8.5:1 where as JE lists them at 9.0:1.

But in reality its what head gasket you use at the end. The manufacturer is listing their compression ratio off of the head gasket they are using for measurement.
