Can anyone verify that the compression ratio between 1982-1983 (H1-2) and 1984-1986 (A1-3) are the same? If so, that would be sweet!

Have you looked in the filebase at the manuals there ?

Im in the process of doing that. I verified that my model is 10.0 compression ratio, now I just need to check the 1983 gpz550 compression ratio.

They're the same compression ratio which I would think is good, but now i dont know why the 1984-1986 gpz550 has a different part number for the pistons than the 1982-1983 gpz550

Maybe these pictures will help show a difference: 13001-1166

13001-1127

Clear difference in dome shape. Does anyone see any other differences?
