360 engine build opinions - first engine build

MOPE... Singh isnt a member on any site I know of...lol. You talk to the few who use his ideas. They are called Singh grooves for a reason.. a radius is a rounded edge. The groove is a directional surface feature, and the technology is 80s vintage. Nothing new. You're doing what a lot of guys here and elsehere do. What did your friend tell you do do about the piston and your choice in machinist?

back on topic... I am 100% with Needsaresto. K.I.S.S. You will get much mroe power from great machining and stock parts, than big dollar parts and skimping to have the money for them. Cool Dad/daughter build too. I like teh XE268 cam, or the larger Summit brand (Crane...)

These aren't Singh grooves I'm talking about. It's simply rounding the edges of the combustion chambers a bunch. The guy who "came up" with it is "dana44" on the allpar.com forum. In fact, he says that Singh grooves actually might not work as well as serious rounding of the chamber edges and gives a big explanation why he thinks so (has to do with turbulence and how it may actually mess up complete combustion).
