    bummer, if I understand you right I guess I need to drop the pan and replace the rods. I guess I have a project this weekend. Thanks again for doing all the math.

    There is another way, you could use a really thick head gasket, like 0.080" and make the long rods work. 0.080" would allow the pistons to come up 0.040" out of the hole and still have a 0.040" squish.

    Personally, I wouldn't do this. I'd use the proper parts in the first place.
