Howdy,
I've found one thread that documents how Dave Roland measured the deck height on a 109 to be 9.506 after getting the decks flat and parallel and a bunch of others jumped onboard saying that it was their experience too. I've not found anything for the earlier Hot Air type block that are "0.038in taller" for the shim gaskets.
Can ya'll share your experience with what the deck height has been both before and after surfacing on either type block? Trying to find the rough (will measure with real parts obviously) piston to head clearances on both block types as I have found a few of both types for basically the same money in the STD bore I need.
Thanks,
