cant get bolts in intake

Ok, I used a calculator on KB-Silvolites web site. With my pistons having a 1.84" compression height and sitting .020" out of the hole, A common Fel-Pro gasket (.040" thick and 4.180" bore) my heads needed to be milled to 60cc to reach the 11:1 compression. That get me closer, but seeing that I dont know what CC the heads were and what the deck height was to begin with I'm still peeing in the wind.


If you go with the performance haed gaskets can you maybe just mill .050 instead? .060 is a littl on the bunch side... I did .035 on the x heads to get them to about 64-65 cc range. Stk they were 72 before the larger valves and milling..

I 'll go have another beer too sound good!
