Nice work on that .72!
YES, and next in line is my .82 for a similar treatment. RVM, how are you doing with your .82..??
BTW, I can tell you all that I have measured the CR of this .72 GK and with a headspace of 0.95mL it has a calculated CR=13.4.......! Hey downunder are you still with us..??!!..close enough to what you recommend is it not..?..

Do you have an opinion on what the minimal "quench hieght" (piston to head deck clearance) would be an a Saito FA 180 single?

I'm thinking about .009" since .035" is the acceptable minimum on a 3.5" stroke automotive V8 engine.
