Re: 11:1 Engine Rebuild

They are taller than the stock pistons, IIRC. I can verify that though pretty easily. When I put the short block together I am going to measure to the best of my ability how far the piston protrudes from the decks, and then subtract my clearances on the head.

Depending on what I see, I may shim the heads (I could probably get myself some .006" titanium and seal it to the block after gasket matching it). The other option is find an aftermarket HG that is slightly thicker than ours. (COMETIC?)

I may have plenty of room...we shall see once the short block goes together.
