title says it all. How much variation between cylinders in Deck Height do you builders tolerate? i'm shooting for no more than .001, but i'm curious how steadfast i need to be in this...

damn KB 96's stick out of the jugs, mmm, just a little bit...

current deck height:

#1 -.204
#2 -.203
#3 -.215
#4 -.214

Desired deck height:

055-056

off to have the machinist whittle out some .25 cylinder spacers (!)....

Hi Dude
Both motors I did, stuck to the 001 - 002.
But neither needed spacers machined, Its been a long time, 10 years, but I remember finding spacers locally.
I think you might have a spacer issue, but maybe double check the piston hieght to make sure its not a "machinist" error. Take your time here, very important to check/fix deck hieghts, makes it very reliable.
Maybe some engine guru gonna help... maybe even by the time I post...
Thumbs up
Cheers

Joe
