BUT THEN YOU COME IN HERE AND SAY THERE IS NO ADVANTAGES T0 A ZERO DECK HEIGHT ENGINE ON THE STREET. WOW.....

IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO ZERO DECK ANY PERFORMANCE ENGINE BECAUSE IT MAXIMIZES A GOOD QUENCH AREA TO PUSH THE AIR FUEL MIXTURE INTO THE CHAMBER, CREATING DRAMATIC MIXTURE MOVEMENT THAT CREATES A MUCH BETTER AIR FUEL MIXTURE IN THE SPACE OF THE CHAMBER ABOVE THE PISTON, AND TO TOP THAT OFF, A BETTER MIX OF AIR FUEL IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER CREATES AND ENGINE THAT IS LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DETONATION. THE SAFEST PISTON TO HEAD CLEARANCE FOR OPTIMAL QUENCH AREA IS .037-.039. MY SUGGESTION TO THIS FACT IS THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE EXTREMELY TIGHT TOLERANCES GO WITH THE 0 DECK AND FELPRO PERFORMANCE HEAD GASKET WITH A COMPRESSED HEIGHT OF .039


ERIK, DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND INVESTIGATE THE MATTER BEFORE YOU COME BACK ON ME AND HAVE A PROVABLE THEORY WHY I AM WRONG. ALL I HAVE JUST SAID HAS COME TRUE ON DYNO AND EVERYDAY DRIVING. [/QUOTE WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK AND READ MY QUOTE.I NEVER SAID THERE WAS NO ADVANTAGE TO A ZERO DECK HEIGHT ENGINE.YOU CAN CHANGE HEAD GASKET'S OR COMBUSTION CHAMBER SIZES.WHY DECK A BLOCK WHEN THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO OBTAIN THIS.PLEASE READ MY POSTS AND TRY AND QUOTE ME A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY.
I READ YOUR QUOTE, YOU HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS BEHIND THE CONCEPT CR WAS NO WHERE ON MY AGENDA, THE REASON I DON'T LIKE TO DO WITH GASKETS AND SHIMS IS BECAUSE THE CYLINDER WALL RUN INTERFERANCE WITH SWIRL ITS MORE EFFECTIVE IN MY EXPERIECE AND YOU DON'T SET QUENCH WITH COMBUSTION CHAMBER SIZE.
