High-altitude pistons at a low altitude

F-Dean · Sep 29, 2010

My F-12 parts tractor has high-altitude pistons and I would like to put them in the F-12 I am rebuilding.

Any problems using high-altitude pistons in low-altitude Illinois? Will it be harder to crank? Easier to start?

Won't hurt anything. I try to put em in all my old girls, the increase in compression makes them run better on gasoline in my opinion, a few extra ponies is always good. Doesn't seem to me to effect the starting one way or the other. I got high domes in my 30 and lots of them I pull apart were rebuilt with them.
