Thanks Rob, Clearance is what I meant. I would like to increase the compression since I'm at 5k feet with aluminum heads. Is it reasonable to just give the numbers to the machinist and have him figure how much to mill?
I don't know. I would be skiddish. I would want my machinist to measure for himself. Not questioning your work, but what he might do. Some machinists are lazy and would set up off your numbers.....this is important enough to set up off measured numbers from the crank center line. That's your reference. You want the decks to be parallel and squared to the crank center line, not to the deck clearance. Does that make sense?
