So I have been doing some math and need to find the right pistons to replace the ones I blew up.. the original ones were HYP and had .025 shaved off the top. Based on what I am reading I need a shorter compression distance to make them the right height correct?

Based on my numbers of 9.48 - 3.85/2 - 5.956 - .025

I am left with 1.574 for a compression distance for the piston to be installed with a .025 clearance to the deck. Does this seem right??
