    Place a small piece of modeling clay or Play Doh in the valve pockets of the piston. Overlap the clay over the edge of the valve relief to ensure that your piston will clear oversize valves if you are running them. Spray a small amount of WD-40 or oil on your finger and coat the top of the clay...

    Now that our deck height is set we can move onto clay checking the motor. This step is very important, none of us want to see the valves throw a party in the combustion chamber. We clay check with an old headgasket to get a more accurate reading, and new headgaskets should not be torqued down...

    Re-install the cylinder in the same order as before, tighten down, and measure the deck height again. This time we come up with .013 on our calipers. We add the .027 for the headgasket and wind up right where we wanted at our .040. The usual amount removed from the bottom of the cylinder is...

    This illustrates an incorrect deck height at .041 on our calipers. We want .040 total so we know our current deck height is .041+.027 with our headgasket. With .068 we now know that .028 needs to come off the bottom of the cylinder for a correct deck height measurement. At this point remove the...

    Next, take out the timing plug on the clutch side cover (10mm allen head) and you will be looking for a punch mark on the crank gear. Rotate the crank with an 8mm allen to align the punch mark with the arrow on the side cover.

    Ask the Builder...

    I get people that call and dance around the question that they seem to want to ask, so I thought that I would open up a thread about asking the builder questions. I will not answer questions about E85 needles, port widths, bowl percentages, valve angles, cam timing or ignition timing, but other...
