I have the engine out due to a oil pump prob.

During the build, I measured about .037 average for the deck height. .040 is optimal.

Should I tear the top end off amd change it? Is that just being anal?

what is your compression ratio?

You run a bit of a risk of crashing the piston in to the head, but if it were me I'd run it as is.

Run it.

I have an engine with a 105mm bore that runs a .023 deck and runs great!

Rules are meant to be broken, we shred the rule book up every chance we get. I consider .035 my target.

Three thousands. You are not being anal. You are beyond anal. I want to go with the absolute min on deck height on all I build.
Rules...I make the rules.

I built in 0.032". Figured at high revs the rod would stretch just enough that the carbon would be knocked off the piston.

.037 Average???
Are all of them the same? or are they 040 and 035???

They should all measure the same...
