is it OK to machine down a blocks deck face, so the piston pops out the top about 0.020"-0.025" ???......or is this considered asking for trouble? Power is in the region of 14-20hp in the region of 8-9000rpm.
I know people machine them so the piston is down a bit or flush, but for some of the tuned motors I build we are struggling for CR and the 0.040" fibre gaskets really do not help reduce volume.
I'm struggling to see why it wouldn't work.
