How 'bout a custom grind on the crank? Offset the journals and make them smaller by grinding the "TDC Part" and using custom rods to fit? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you get the lost compression back by decking the block and/or head? A lil off the head to "square it up" and the rest off the block might work...

Any other opinions?
