Hi all finally getting farther along with my engine build have 60cc Edelbrock aluminum heads and
doing a piston mockup I don't want to read more into then needed but concerned with compression and quench.
Pistons are forged wiseco with 1.6 comp height (same as stock) with 5cc valve reliefs, according to piston
specs 58cc is 9.6 and 64cc 8.9 so 60cc should be somewhere in between. Pistons are below the deck so till
I can accurately measure going to assume .016 which is stock. Anyone have any experience building similar.
Thinking about having block 0 decked Thoughts Kevin

Well picked up block from machine shop decided to have it decked after my mockup
showed my pistons over .020 down going to do another mockup then start putting motor together.
Also had deck finished to work with mls head gaskets if I decide to go that route.
