Default Re: Piston to Head Clearance Input

I made a system to move the spark plug in a casr iron 8ba head. Unfortunately it's rather complicated, and not a consumer product. At present I'm not sure it will work. However, if it does you could do this to a pair of EAB heads, angle mill them .070" and have a combustion chamber around 60cc alot cheaper that any aftermarket head. At 87 I work in my shop trying to profect the perfect flathead. Maybe non of this will work, but it's agood reason to get up in the morning. Before they throe dirt on ya.

Yes, I'm working on a "How To", But I'm all rapped up im this roadster build and the 258 Projects. I'll put something together and maybe some of you fellows can pick it up. Also I have a way to measure the CR of an engine, accurate to the third decimal point.
I should post allot of things, burt these computers Bafacate me and I have to ua anagnafier to write this sh*t.
