Heh... Ive seen as much as a $.10 spread during my morning commute.
This is per litre of gas, remember.

Well I should clarify, the $2.11 was for chevron, cheaper stations like Valero, at the same time, are running 87 octane for $1.99 but I won't go near that stuff. Chevron or bust usually. 30 miles in one direction and you go up a few cents, 60 miles in the other direction (Silicon Valley) and your liable to go up a quarter .

Like I said I took 0.100" off and cant run 87 octane. I would think 0.060-0.070" would be ok P.S. I spent $1.87/gallon for 93 octane today |

As many other things, my slant head was milled w/o measurements. The dynamic compression test (measured from spark plug hole when rotating the engine with starter) gives 1.2 - 1.3 MPa readings (174 - 188 PSI). This is not too much for the 95E fuel sold here. As well I have not checked the timing mark, if it is located correctly or not. Timing light says, this engine has about 10 degrees on idle and 30-32 degrees at 3000 rpm up. Fuel price 1.1 €/L (~5US$/USGal). |

The block doesnt usually warp, so other than correcting deck height for race purposes, you don't really need to, plus it will wipe out your engine serial number. I would just check the deck surface with a feeler gauge and if it's good, leave it as is. |
