Quick question. Anyone know what the deck height above the piston is at TDC on the Chevy 235?
If it matters, it's a 1959 engine.
I'm assuming 0.025", which is typical for Chevy V8's, but the stovebolt may vary from this.
I had to have my head shaved to get rid of a warp and the machinist knocked the maximum amount off, bringing combustion chamber volume to 69cc's. (I cc'd the chambers tonight). I had 84cc's previously. Assuming 0.025" deck height and 0.039" head gasket thickness, that gives me 9.10:1 compression. That's an improvement.
Anyway, anyone know the deck height above TDC?
Thanks
