Thread: Piston deck height/ Quench question

Tweet

If there is a difference in cylinder to cylinder you can off set bush the small end of the rod without any further balance issues unless its an aluminum rod and then there will be a small correction needed


and its pretty complicated to MEASURE a block for deck height--you have to establish the main bore center line ---precesion bushings plus alignment bar ( usually a 2 inch steel perfectly straigt bar) and some tools toestablish a plane square to the bores then measure each hole to the lowest point( that is minimum of how far you'd have to machine it to get flat square to crank bore surface)


Its easier to determine the deck height you want and have it decked square to that deminsion OR have it decked minimum to square and choose head gasket to establish squish you want.


Now if you don't have pistons with any flat surface you are in a whole different pile of horsefecus to determine squish clearance between ubeven piston crown and combustion chamber of the head--


its about as complicated as having having married your best friends girl while he was gone to war????
