    I apologize. you are right after looking back one of my blocks was 10.725. pistons could be as much as 91 thousand in the hole. I had...

    You can use steel shim gasket as the factory or MLS makes thin gaskets. They cost a bit more than the standard felpro rebuilder gaskets...

    no figures are in stone. every block even side to side or from front to back, pin height and rod lengths vary.

    why are you using a .051 head gasket ?

    pin height is 1.991 for 65-67 so the most it could be is .091 in the hole. the 1967 engines I tore apart were at 75-85 thousand in the...

    heads have nothing to do with quench. just need to know your block deck height.

    I used race-tech forged pistons. with closed chambered heads you will be about 9.5-9.6 compression with .039 head gaskets you will be...
