i did get the block 0 decked ,but also talked to my builder about milling my deck to bring the piston up closer to the head

according to him there was a varyience from one side to another ,witch was equalized ,.....but from what i gathered he did take the deck down a tiny bit to bring the pistons up higher ,not sure the exact clearences ,i'll find out exactly how close the clearance is tuesday ,think he said he'd mill it to 080 to the top

as for my heads i milled them 020 last spring so they should be around 60.8 cc chambers

the differences that i'm not sure about would be ....it's a 306 now and my pistons are closer now ,and the new pistons don't have that tiny little dish in em like the stock ones

i'll find out tomorrow the clearance to the top of the deck

notch thanks for the link .....i saw that link before but when milling the block it changes the equation cause there is a wider valume being removed (the chamber isn't as wide as the piston top)
thanks for the replies
