I hated to replace my 12.5 to 1 pistons, but could not find any other reasonable way to reduce my compression. One thing I seriously considered was a very thick head gasket. They are available with thickness of over .100 I did the math, it would have worked.
But I also wanted to change my deck height, compression height of the piston to introduce "quench", which the original FE's never had.
About $900 bucks for the new pistons, I bit down hard on the bullet and went for it...
