170/6 build plus questions!

Isn’t a 170 already a near zero deck engine? Meaning that at TDC the pistons are at or very close to block deck height. And you are putting a cylinder head on it that was cut .100
Have you ran those numbers through a static compression calculator.
Cutting a 225 head .100 is done, but those blocks have pistons around .180 in the hole.

Yes, the 170 is considered a zero deck height engine. I've never measured it.....and in fact, I have one out here with the head off. I may run out and measure it if I can get the headache to ease off some.
