Deck height looks like .006" ... was shooting for .005

Piston dish 11.2 cc
Chambers 72cc (with OEM valves)

Looks like I'll be about 9.9:1 at this point .... will I gain a couple of cc's with new valves??

So far so good.
I would be at around .019-.020 on the top ring and .021-.022 on the second ring if I were assembling.

Check gaps on the oil rails too.....I like to see .015" gaps on those.
