with the stock RB deck height of 10.725", how much can you safely cut the deck? .050"? .080"? .100"? thanks in advance.

i'm gonna be using 1.908" compression height pistons, along with 6.800" rods and a 3.915" stroke crank (offset ground journals to 2.200" [big block chevy size]). this would leave the -6cc dome pistons in the hole .050" so around 10.3:1 cr. the heads are 84cc close chamber aluminum. i assuming that .050" in the hole would make the engine very "ping" happy, and with a 50 cut it should place the piston .001" in the hole with about 11.3:1 cr and have the quench that i need. also using a .040" head gasket. and yes, arp heads studs would be used. so hence my question.. sorry i should have provided more info in the first place. thanks.depends on open or closed chamber heads, rods, piston ring land heighth and gasket thickness and i would stud it. too many variables for one number
heads will be angled milled.the67fish said:cut one much over .020 and you'll have plenty of fun getting the intake to fit unless you machine it also.
just some "one off" pistons i got for an experimental RB engine.moper said:Which piston exactly?
