914-4, stock crankshaft, Stock Jugs, H-Beam rods, JE Pistons, 7k redline; how tight can I safely go? I've heard that a deck height of 0.050" is a safe amount. Can I go 0.040" without risking interference issues?
Thanks, Jim |

Others may have more specific information but I would be concerned about interference caused by valve float at 7K especially if you are running stock springs.
You can certainly go through the process of checking the clearance using clay or dial indicator but you also have to account for piston rock and allow additional clearance on the exhaust site for the additional expansion of the exhaust valve due to the heat. Some of the experts may be abele to give you exact numbers for rules of thumb clearances but if you are running stock springs at 7K rpm then you can be sure that you will get valve float. |
