Very true how do you come up with that plan? That is what I'm asking for example I'm planning out all the little things to get my compression where I want it. Pistons head gaskets etc. But then you have the valve to piston clearance issue. Everything I read is how to check the clearance after the engine is already completed how can plan for that before you buy the parts? Or assemble the engine? I dont want to spend 1k or more just to find out my valves dont clear my pistons have to start making adjustments.
