440 problems/quenching?/advice needed

I told you what was in it. Flat top pistons that are zero decked with no valve reliefs. I put the current heads on it. This is verified.

Ok, I didn't realize you had assembled it. I missed that part.

Keep in mind that 906 heads unmilled are around 90CCs chamber volume so that may help your situation.

I am not aware of a piston with no valve reliefs that can achieve zero deck height without heavy block milling. I assume when you installed the heads you verified the zero deck height also?
