It works, you have to notch the bottom of the cylinders. but it works. With ls length rods the wrist pin is pushed up high into the middle of the oil ring (ARIAS has these pistons as a shelf piston BTW). Every setup I've known about with these types of pistons has oil control issues. The solution would be to get pistons with the ring package pushed up as high as feasible and the wrist pin moved up as well but not into the oil ring. Then use a custom length rod.

All of this is way too much work because ls blocks are cheaper better solution than stroking a b16.
