Be sure to do the compression ratio "math" to be sure you have a reasonable effective compression ratio for the cam you plan to use. The last "long rod" 225 (7 inch rod) set-up I did had a .024 negative deck after a light clean-up cut on the block. With a flat top piston, .040 head gasket and a 60 cc head it had 10.1 static compression and 8.0 effective compression with a cam that has a 65 degree ABDC intake valve closing point. DD |

I'm suggesting that the lesson for you today, is to not have the block bored until you have pistons in hand. Roger |
