Do you have an idea what it should be??
Thanks Bob
I don't know what it should be. I don't know what the minimum deck height should be. I've been told that you don't want it greater (yes, greater) than 1mm/0.04" because it increases the chance of detonation in the resulting pocket along the outer edge of the piston.
