Default Re: piston to valve clearance

Well I notched my pistons, not as hard as I thought it would be, I have the pistons from my 85 block that’s out having work done, so what I did was make a card board template of the piston, I then put the template on top of the piston and rubbed the top to get the impression of the valve relief’s, I then cut those markings out, I took the template laid that on each piston and with a sharpie I filled in the valve relief’s cut outs, I then took some playdoh to make an impression of the valve relief’s of the 85 pistons, I then took extreme care with my 4 inch grinder and cut the out line of my markings and checking with the playdoh impressions so not to cut too deep, once I did the rough cutting with the grinder I finished the relief’s with my dermal , and I must say I think it looks real good. I took some pick’s but I can’t get them to load in the post, once I figure out what I’m doing wrong I’ll post the picks.
