My 340 build

Yeah so maybe i will be alright with what i have i just have read more clearance is recommended before. These are icon 741 forged pistons so leaning toward i think ill he okay as long as that gasket didmt compress more due to the head studs or anything lol

I just dont want to cut it too close with the clearance

The blue permatorque are .050? I always heard thr compressed same as 1008 .039
1008 = .039"
8553PT = approx .050"
Right out of the mfr's specs....

I went up to a bit over .040" due to similar caution, and the fact that the machining left a top-to-bottom slope on the deck that I had to get corrected (partially successful). Next time, I'll probably just let it ride at a bit tighter.
