Thanks Ron,
Do the rebuilt stockers get the heads cut for your 0.040"-0.050" clearance with OEM pistons?
The reason for the questions,
I recall that it's been said that egge pistons have a higher crown. Don't know wether this is still the case. When I've measured the clearance on a Flathead with OEM pistons and stock heads, I usually get somewhere near Ross's numbers, twix 0.090"-0.120" these are numbers averaged from a few different engines, all pre end of war blocks and a couple of Pilot blocks (essentially a 1937-38 21 stud). Never measured a post war one.
What do you reckon?
Many thanks,
Martin.
