Why so much inital timing???

OP said he recalled that IVC was 60. He didn't mention which pistons specifically. But .030 over with 9.6 static compression. I did not see a mention of which carb he used.

Or head gasket

Notice what? That OP gave the IVC as 60? Or that I guessed that same number? lol Or wait! Did you mean that I said DCR was probably between 7.85 and 7.98? Or that with the IVC at 60, I calculated DCR at 7.90:1? Look at that. There's me. Right again lol.
You act like you're the only person who could put that together, you're full of yourself, plus your numbers are still shy and give the same conclusion of what his dynamic there or about is...and its not stellar
I'm not torn up over anything. I said DCR would be good for iron heads. And it was. I also said that max DCR on iron head's isn't worth it on an everyday street motor. He's right up where he and his builder wanted it, and it's great for the street.
I said ideally ...BUT YOU straight say "the max for iron heads" , when that is complete bullshit. You have no clue, you just spaz and round off numbers to as to seem right when you're wrong
You're the one throwing a temper tantrum and disliking everyone's posts just cause they disagree with your "opinion". I call that torn up lol.

I disliked instead of railroading this thread. So much for that...
