OK Henry...
Fess up, whats this "brand X" motor?  More info needed here...
first thoughts include:
decked block
longer rods
wrong pistons
some hotrodders have been known to setup a motor like this with a flycut head
or????

Hello engine rebuilding enthusiasts.  I have assembled the lower end of my
rand X motor and through all my work and measuring, have created a situation
here the Pistons "pop up" about .030" above the deck.  Can I simply deal with
his by purchasing a .060" thick solid head Gasket?  giving a .025" to .030"
learance between the top of tht piston and the head?
I'd rather not machine down the pistons but will if that is what it is going
o take.
Cheers, Henry Morrison, New Mexico
