6 bolt rebuild swap for 95tsi

He told me he ran the numbers on the tops of the pistons and found one place online that sells them. He said they were stroker pistons out of Canada if I remember right (we're rebuilding the engine as a pair in class).

Does the teacher consider posting on forums part of research? hahah.
Pull the pistons, if you have a stock one to match it up with the stock will be about a CM taller. That will tell you right there whether they are stroker pistons.
I am going to assume you have a stroker crank as you would have noticed right away that the pistons done reach the top of the cylinder.

Actually the teacher is pretty useless....


Jake stopped over today and pointed out how deep of a dish they have. Much more than stock pistons. Now that you mention it, I might have my old pistons sitting in my garage. I could bring them with tomorrow and compare the two.

What do you mean Deep of a dish? This usually only affects the Compression ratio. The piston as a whole will be less height than the stock piston if its a stroker. The dish is C/R.
When i was going through my fiasco with piston ordering, It started out with a piston being bought that turned out to be a stroker piston which i didnt realise until after it was installed and i was getting ready to put on the head when i noticed that the one piston wasnt going to the top of the wall.
After figureing out that we ordered another piston from mahle, which turned out to be a 9.x piston and was completly noticable by the dish being smaller in diameter than the other three pistons. (which were 8.7:1 pistons)

I'll have to bring the camera to school and snap pics or something. They just look like 7 something to 1 compression.

Part number is 6571M855. Stroker Wiseco Pistons (0.020" over) with a 8.3:1 compression ratio.
