I am at the engine acquisition phase of an RV8 build and want to put an O-360 that will burn gasoline with an octane rating less than 100LL. I know the O-360-B1A and B1B fit this description and have a compression rating of 7.2:1 however, finding one of these engines used might be difficult. My question is, if I find an O-360 with the normal compression ratio of 8.5:1 can I rebuild it with the lower compression rating cylinders and pistons?
