I am putting together an engine for use in a special, it has a 2 bearing 1.5inch Phoenix crank, Phoenix rods and modern pistons from Tony Betts. It also has a high compression head.
A trial assembly, has revealed that my pistons protrude the deck by 8 thou. I would welcome advice on the best way to deal with this, and what clearance under the head should I really be aiming for, bearing in mind head gasket thickness etc.
Many thanks
