Decking block cost??

I know what you said. I can read. But again, this isn't a turbo build.

Okay; Sorry my message was somehow offensive. I'll try to not do that again.

Who knows; he might not have been able to get the unswept volume small enough without milling the block, anyway, so it may well be moot.

I would think that if he's going to bother to buy custom/forged pistons, the manufacturer could probably give him any compression-ratio he needed, with a dome. That would negate the necessity of milling anything, wouldn't it?
