Default ZC engine with compression 11.3:1 ???


Hi again,

In my last posts I was asking some things about the ZC engines.
The car that I can buy is with a real ZC DOHC JDM engine and it's compression is 11.3:1.
The specifications are 9.x:1 .

My question is - >
As I know it is possible the ZC to have compression ratio 11.3:1 but with changed pistons.
Please tell me is this a problem.I think that it is very high compression and wonder is it good or bad the copmression to be so high?
???
Thank you for the collaboration -> in advance

How do you know that the compression is what it is?

It's not bad, it's just that you need to run it on premium gas.

The compression was measured by professionals.
I still can't understand is it fine.I guess the pistons of the engine were changed.

Bye for now.
