Cody 82 ZXT Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I just assembled my bottom end yesterday using stock parts. With the pistons at TDC the tops are .001 above the deck of the block. Is this right on a stock block? I really don't know the history of the block I bought it a couple of months ago to do a simple rebuild while I do a major motor in a year or so. I bought a .6mm metal head gasket to increase the compression a little but, I'm begining to think that the this block may have been milled before and don't want to run some kind of crazy compression. Is this right that the stock parts are to come to the top of the block like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Should be stock. I had positive deckheight with stock flat top pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 The flat tops in a 2.8 come slightly above deck from the factory. You should be fine Cody, as long and there is no contact between the piston and the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
