Deck height question!
I have just checked the deck height in my 2.7 rebuild. My case was sent to Ollie's and had all the machine work done that was required for the dreaded 2.7. My case was actually not in bad shape, it did not need to be align bored, the case looks like it was decked but only about .010" inch was removed. I put the cylinders on with the base gaskets that Ollie's supplied, they were .020" think as compared to the .010" inch thick ones that came in the gasket kit.
I get anywhere from 062" to about .065" inch all across the whole set of cylinders.
Now, the question is this. Do I need to do the piston to valve clearance check? I am doing a stock reuild, and although I am using all stock pieces they are not all from this engine originally. I am using a differnt set of cylinders, and pistons, and different cams, not from this engine, but stock sizes etc. The pistons are the same CIS type as the engine came with.
Do I need to do the piston to valve clearance check? Seems like a lot of time for stock components.
Thanks in advance.
