piston/deck clearance: how much is too much?

87hilux7mge · 07-09-2011, 03:51 AM

so, im wondering, would i be able to get away with .030" above deck? when i had my n/a block done, i ended up with a total of .024" above deck, i believe stock is .020?

i could always get a 2.0mm mhg to avoid piston to valve contact, im just worried about top ring and ringland.

if anyones got an opinion about this, lemme know, itll help with the easy stroker setup.
