Oh great ones,

 

My engine is at the machine shop for an overhaul.  Its getting the usual
bottom end treatment with new components as needed, balancing, polishing,
cylinders bored, etc.  The head had previously been shaved (9.5:1) and had
the hardened valve seats.  It is getting new stainless valves.

 

I also want to have the block zero decked.  I assume that once the material
is removed from the block that the recesses around the bores will need to be
re cut.  My machinist is stressing over the distance from the top of the top
ring on the piston to the bottom of the recess in the cylinder bore.  I have
not seen this issue discussed on the list.

 

Is this something that I need to be concerned about?  

 

Thanks,

Jimmy Richards
