Well Gents, I have found little bits and pieces of the article, thanks to the link you posted, Ranger. But, I have not found the whole thing. In any case here are a few juicy tidbits... If his assessment of the compression with the tall 1.535" piston is correct, the result using the shorter...

'85_Ranger4X4... Thank you!!! Looks like I have my work cut out... It was a 2 or 3 page deal with pics and all... Oh boy! Coyoté
