8.5:1 is B28F spec. DMC may indeed have used slightly different
pistons, especially in light of Martin's Renault research. Have you
compression tested a crate engine from the factory? Volvo calls for
156 PSI on the B28F. My crate Peugeot block was 160 PSI, so perhaps
they used different pistons as well (at least in that application).
