@TT5.9mag I told him I definitely didn't want a dog, but I also don't need crazy hp. I would be happy with anything close to 400 hp with good torque. We spoke for a while about it, and he suggested the stroke to take advantage of all the lost quench I'm giving up. As for the .100 below deck, he brought the motor to TDC and the piston was at least .100 below. I asked about just changing the pistons but he said no.
Replacing the piston and balancing the assembly is literally right up his alley, his forte, HIS JOB. Tell him you want some KB-107 +.030” (or Speed Pro H116cp pistons) pistons and rebalance it-you will have everything you want.
It’s your engine/money, wtf does he mean “No.” (to replacing the piston.)?
