SLANTY BLUES

I agree with:
1)getting cool air to the intake to make pre ignition less likely.
2)measuring piston recession, chamber cc and getting a real grip on the static and dynamic compression.
3)checking for too smooth head gasket surfaces, bent rods, blown pistons,,,

I have new rod bearings ordered. When i get the pistons out I can check your #3. Just had this block and head machined.
yea I've been want to get something for cold air induction. Need to find a 1 barrel snorkel air cleaner if they made em.
And all this compression ratio talk is over my head. as is all the detonation , preignition. Once i get it all checked out and get all this info deciphered into something I can understand I'll put it back together. LOL. Thanks AL. By the way your pick up is nice. I used to have a about 4 or 5 older ones.
