The subject was "deck height", and you can't measure deck height with the cylinder head INSTALLED (OK, I won't say impossible, but it ain't easy), nor from a cylinder head (alone) sitting on a bench. I didn't think I would need to explain all the details to somebody who knew enough to ask a question about minimum deck height. >We are not mind readers, if a reference is made elsewhere then why was not a > reference or pointer to it? I DID give the link. From that post: "I did a web page on how to check it at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/trial_assy.html , but you'll also need to know the combustion chamber volume to calculate compression ratio, and that was shown at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/valvejob.html";. Sorry but I haven't figured out a way to FORCE those who read my messages to actually comprehend what I'm saying, or to visit the provided links for more information.

If you go back and read my message, and then your messages, it should be obvious (to most folks) who did the explaining, and who did the flaming. I'll make a deal with you Adrain. From now on, you answer the engine questions, and I'll build an airplane... Mark Langford, Huntsville, AL N56ML "at" hiwaay.net see KR2S project at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford
