Cam reground same, good grind imo
have the 45's touched
New intake valves because that was the last facing they could take.
Pondering diamond 51405's with a better 1008 .039 gasket "used 8553pt previously"
Have a another 1978 std block in the shop getting the same 'all mains studded', line honed, .030 over this time and main galleys matched to old block ,oiling was bitchin, or basically open them up to the right size.
I will also measure and get a geometry kit from b3racing, been meaning to but havent.
Its a pickle ... I have 60 cc Iron head chambers with shallow side that's. 030 deep, I actually opened it to that because it was dean near closed and I had quenchers sitting flush with a compressed .046 8553 gasket that I had already milled and setup.
Changing pistons is now a task.
Zero deck pistons a plenty... but I'll end up with no quench an almost or about 10.1
Custom pistons...maybe, that's ex$pen$ive.
Maybe I can machine some to a d cup..or machine some of the cup down 2 cc or so.
Easy and risky way... 356's again, open the quench .008 to .038 quench and set the rings the same or .002 more gap and then go buy a wideband.lol.
Objectively thinking here..
It's hard to decide. What if the cylinder just widowed and that's what happened...
Then nothing changes except the bore size or incorporate a sonic test. If this was professional racing, competition... I would would really need to know exactly what happened in order to correct and make the most of this what I feel is an excellent winning combo. It's not average but it's not breakthrough, it's just calculated.
