Hello Damon,
You will have to replace the pistons. When you change the stroke (making
it longer), the rod travels farther in the cylinder of course. So to keep
the piston in the confines of the head/cylinder, the wrist pin is actually
"higher" in the stroker piston. If you place them side by side, the pin
would be 1/2 half the stroke length distance, in the new piston. Extra head
gaskets are not the answer, although it would work, its just not a long term
fix.
Flame suit on and ready!
