These are based off the std 401 bore of 4.165 and using a 401 crank that started at a good cleanup @.030 (after offset grinding) at the top of the journal. This is just a nice reference for those who are thinking of different combos.

Lets say we are looking at a piston for a Blower/NOS application we would want at least a .300 top ring land. We could be looking at a distance of .900" from the bottom of the oil control ring and with a .927" chevy pin and a compression heights of
Acura/Mitsu journal (4.128 stroke)
6" rod 1.144 compression height piston
6.125" roc 1.019 compression height piston
Honda journal (4.010 stroke)
6" rod 1.203 compression height piston
6.125" rod 1.078 compression height piston
Chevy journal (3.899 stroke)
6" rod 1.2585 compression height piston
6.125" rod 1.1335 compression height piston
We are looking at a possible total from top of piston to top of wrist pin to be
.927/2 = .4635 + .9 = 1.3635 (For the lowest possible compression height without having the lower oil control ring touching the top of the wrist pin bore using 5/64 rings .300 top ring land)
Now we know that 1/16 rings are a better choice and are stock on chevy motors and when you use a .927 pin you are in fact using a stock size chevy pin so lets use their better ring choice and recalculate the optimal height.
.927/2 = .4635 + (.9 "at 5/64 ring" - {.0781(5/64) -.0625(1/16) = .0156 * 2 = .0312} = .8688 ) = 1.3323 (For the lowest possible compression height without having the lower oil control ring touching the top of the wrist pin bore using 1/16 rings .300 top ring land)
Acura/Mitsubishi 1.144 compression height 6" rod the oil control ring groove enters the wrist pin bore by .1883
Honda 1.203 compression height 6" rod the oil control ring groove enters the wrist pin bore by .1293
Chevy 1.2585 compression height 6" rod the oil control ring groove enters the wrist pin bore by .0738
Now I do know Chevy LS1 (NOS/Blower application), Chevy small block (NOS/Blower application), BBC (nitrous domes), Ford Boss 302, and Ford big block 385 all use oil control grooves entering the wrist pin bore so I dont see an issue there.
