Who what or where can i find mil 6.2 pistons in a lower compression range, some body has got to know something , with all these smart people out there what is the answer??? factory pistons have them cut and coated , 20 thou drop deck have them cut, what will cutting do to strength of either. I work on a military base and me connection has been deployed.

The only low compression application I know of is Marine. As to what boats those 6.2l found themselves in. Your guess is as good as mine. Hopefully someone else knows that.
