Piston question

find a new machinist.
I like Wyrmriders thinking.
If you have an open chamber head, IMO, it is well worth it to a streeter, to get the Q into the zone of .034 to .044; if that means you gotta get a raised Q-pad then that is what I'd do.
Compression Ratio by itself is not your engine's enemy.
The wrong Q can be, and so can a high cylinder pressure. But the cam you choose, needs to
be co-ordinated to the Scr to keep the pressure low enough to stay out of detonation with the gas you intend to use.... but high enough to make a sharp, fun,engine.

Just wondering;
If you already have the pistons, wouldn't it be cheaper/easier/better to just get another block?

Why would I find a new machinest it isnt his fault my block didnt clean up and its not his fault that pistons I want are no where to be found. These guys have done a phenomenal job imo they have took the time to help me and teach me I read all the horror stories about machinist taking forever and stealing parts and all that stuff. This places has kept me updated and communicate has been excellent. He goes over everything with me gives me the pros and cons. Iv spent alot of time there in the last 3 months he has let me watch the whole process and taught me as it has come along. I spent 4 hours there the other day and watch him cut the valve seats and start the boring process he explained all that to me and how it works. He explained all the seat angles and everything and took the time to show me cam degreeing and actually degreed one right there in front of me. I don't think there is to many machinest that are gonna teach their trade like that for free!
As far as the block goes no it wouldnt be cheaper or easier. 360 blocks are hard to come by in these parts and when you do find one they are not cheap. Plus I have to pay for the machine work already done on the block I have plus start over on a new one. The pistons I bought I'm sending back I already got my money back so I'm not spending any extra money than I would have I just gotta find the pistons.
