New engine issues

The initial post says 'aftermarket flat-top pistons', but did not say that they are zero decked. So I suspect they are something like stock replacement 285's or 814's, which are down in the hole by .070-075". Now the 120 psi compression readings make more sense....

It contains stock rods and crank has after market flat top pistons with no valve relief grooves bored 30 over .

The pistion comes right to the top of the cylinder no gap between piston and top of the cylinder by the head gasket .

If that info is correct, it’s only 9:1 if the heads are 73 cc’s.
