    Dose any one have a old Jahns piston book? I have a set of pistons and want to know what they fit.
    Box has Jahn's Racing pistons, 8-1105-h-rp-std
    2 1/64 def 4 1/8. it also has oldsmobile on the side of the box.
    Can any one tell me engine size and compression ratio? I think it is a 371 Olds

    8 probably stands for no. of cylinders and in one of my old catalogs it lists 1105H as: 1957-58 Oldsmobile V8-high compression with 21/64 deflector
    bore sizes 4, 4 1/16, 4 1/8
    compression ratios 10.5:1 57, 11:1 58
