Not sure why I didn't think of machining the pistons first. Maybe that is because I was planning on a higher compression setup. JE's 9.5:1 isn't much different than stock 9.3:1 as I do want to stay on pump gas. So what does it typically cost to machine the piston tops for valve clearance?

Another thing I'm thinking.... does the case need to be split to get this work done?
