Default 103 build?

I am thinking of doing a 103 build. Has anyone used the aftermarket piston that get rid of the squeesh that the 96 are supposed to have, and do you think it helped.

I also have a set of 2004 heads I was thinking of having reworked any thoughts on those year heads?

I have not used them personally, because I don;t have on 07. The situation & fix has been explained to me. By moving the wrist pin hole a bit lower (very technical term ) , it raises the piston top up flush with the deck. As I understand it, you can also accomplish the same result by using a very thin head gasket (.021" or somesuch).

For a more better explanation, give Doug or Kevin @ Head-Quarters a holler.
