You are correct -.015 deck. When the machinist asked where to cut the deck, I called 440 source, the guy said, "ahhh just clean it up should be fine". I'm guessing there was a miscommunication and he wasn't aware exactly what I was working with. As down the road, long too late did I see the 15 thou below deck requirement. One thing I screwed up on was not measuring how far down in the hole the pistons were. Would this taller deck hight be my culprit?
And why is the timing so low?
