Thanks again guys!
I was told from Cliffords that the engine would produce 325 HP when done. I know I said that I'm not gonna race it, but the HP/torq is always welcome for fun.
I can read a lot of different opinions on my issue here.
Am I right when all can agree that the pistons need to flush the deck.
When I have measured the pistons, rods, crank and block. And maybe found the problem, I believe from the forum posts that I have more options..
If the block is milled in an angle:
One option:
Mill more off of the block and then mill the pistons to flush the deck and then dig in the pistons to get a lower compression?
What about the stroke then?
Another option:
Let the block be crooked, mill of the pistons seperately so they flush the deck - dig the piston dish to aim for a lower compression.
This option gives me 6 different pistons in weight and dish size. What does that mean?
Other options are welcome -
I know that it is me that have to take the last decision, but it helps with your inputs.
Let us say that I end up with a compression around 10:1 - will I need a bigger cam?
