All,
Finally got my engine put back together and running (there was a major misstep
along the way which is too embarrasing to relay here in any detail -- suffice
to say I learned a valuable lesson about interference valves)
At any rate, I have a bit of a franken-car that was various people's project
before finally coming to me. Because of this history, I am always trying to
figure out which parts are original, and which parts were someone's "clever"
idea.
When I put my engine back together I noticed that at top dead center the
pistons can completely flush with the top of the block. I seem to remember
that the engine I built for my old Toyota Tercel had a little more clearance --
but my memory could be wrong. Is this spec? And normal? Or has someone put
in longer rods?
