And so it starts... 340 build
Next step is to use some clay again and place it on top of the piston. I did it in 3 spots not knowing at this point if the stock head was going to make it on there or if the used up 26 year old Edelbrock heads were going on top.
Below is the clearance with the stock head. Measure up how much room there is with a simple device and now you know how much clearance you have and what head gasket you can order. Check the center of the piston and the edges to make sure of there height.
The bridge and dial gauge are inexpensive. Very helpful and at this point, easy to set up. Also at this time, you can take the time to find TDC with a degree wheel. It’ll be helpful for the next step....
