Larry, What heads are you running? The smaller chambered heads (<72) combined with pistons that are below deck at tdc can be prone to dentation. Has to do with the flame spreading out over the piston in a larger area & creating more heat. zero deck bumps compression but keeps the ignition in the chamber. I have the factory 16 heads, 068 cam, Q-jet & a lowly oe point ignition system with no pre-igntion at all.
