Piston compression height is the distance between the centerline of the pin to the flat part of the top of the piston. It's important to know this number when ordering pistons--especially custom ones- ...

"Too little compression will usually result in unmet performance expectations. On the high side [too much compression] carries greater risk in tuning and potential component failure if appropriately ...
