Status: offline 		My block is 3/4 thick, bolted to a 1" thick x 5 inches wide with 1/2" allen bolts..It's a T, with holes in one side for G38 size cranks and the other side for G62 size cranks..it fits in my Kurt vise on the mill table...Most lathe chucks are not good enough to check alignment within .001, so the block was the answer...It's about 12 years old.....

I believe it will be the same exact port timing that counts.
Unless the port timing is matched the engine will not be optimized.
Deck height needs to be maintained so the compression raitos will be he same.

It should not be hard to do, it's just another small detail that needs to be taken care of.

It seems like the base gasket and the deck heigth will also affect port timing and dial indicator. Most likely if ports are in time with each other....the top dead center will be very close too. Well if she runs good...thats all that counts. Well except for if its kinda heavy...thats not good!!! Capt,n

Status: offline 		airbornrc Thanks!!

I almost went out to the workshop to work on my twin last evening, but I was just too tired and lazy. I've been making myself leave it alone until I finish up a few other projects already in the works. One of these days soon...
