Since its being taken apart, seems it would be a good time to look into stuff like this.

So, has/is anyone running n/a pistons with the turbo ea81? what sort of results?

i figure 8.7:1 isn't that high....

So is ea81t. 8.7:1 is what it will have with N/A pistons.

Aahhh.. Got it.

 

I am currently at 9.0:1 in an EA82t... so far so good, but it still doesn;t have many miles on it

I managed 24k miles from my 9.5:1 EA82T engine.

What do you guys have to set your timing at with those compressions?

12~14 deg.

You using standard oem head gaskets?

I was. They never failed. Reason for failure was....burned exhaust valve and the rings were destroyed.

I have my timing set to ~18. I haven't heard any pinging. It seems to be working out ok for now. We'll see how it does after some more good miles get put on it.

 

Also using OEM HGs. So far, so good.
