Naaah, if evil was a "Lightning rod" that attracted loss, pain, destruction, then the majority of the politicians would be sick, dying & broken men. Certainly, those ultra rich who own the federal reserve & harvest the labors of the people would all be in bad shape, since they steal what isnt theirs. If you dont know who owns the Federal Reserve, Google Owns Federal Reserve, Then, when (if) that doesnt mean anything to ya, read the Constitution. Note that the $ is now worth about 4 cents( comparing "Buying Power" now to the $ when the Fed was enacted) Congress is charged with the responsibility to coin money. Understanding the nature of money as it is is totally different from what we are lead to believe. Any who are curious, IM me. I dont want to load the board with political stuff, but this thread took a turn that just begs for sharing what I know.

My gasket set and cam chain just came in so i'll check deck height at least in the next couple days. Like said before, more numbers will only help though so would be nice if anyone else diggin' into their motor checks too.

Now, just how much $$ we talking? I want the 9.5 to 1, 96 mm Piston, too., I have a few $$ stashed, looks like I can swing this even IF I have to do it before the 3rd of May. Let me know what the total is & make me feel good about this Deck Height issue, which I really dont get, unless we are talking about the distance from the top of the piston( stock) from the center of the wrist pin, compared to the new piston. I sure would hate to have a valve/ piston conflict. That would not be at all funny, especially after having the bore punched, cuz then the old piston won't go back in & the cost to get outta that mistake would get huge quick. I want to know the piston is gonna work. Maybe the folks at the place where the pistons are coming from can help, like Reel said. I would just be tickled to have that thing waiting. I would just do it this winter, instead of waiting for this cam chain to wear out. Replace the guides & maybe do an extension on the tensioner. It would be nice if I could figure out how to get clear pics to put up. The Kodak easyshare P850 disappointed me on that tensioner mod.

The valves open 0.153" down below the head surface toward the piston. The deck clearance is 0.157", so the clearance between the piston and the edge of the valve when it is open is the thickness of the head gasket when it is compressed.

Here are the numbers Lancer gave earlier...the valves will always be closed when the piston is TDC (provided the valve springs are doing their job), so you should have plenty of room to play with. Grin

barry68v10 Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 955 Maryland Gender:	Re: Piston Group Buy Reply #89 - 04/25/07 at 16:26:43 OOOOOO, good point. The valves are only fully closed on the intake/power stroke at TDC. The valves should not be fully open at TDC ever. The amount of clearance there will depend on lift and duration.
