[Fot] TR4 deck height

[TR4 Tony]

Hi all

We run 8 thou with a steel crank , carillo rods. Flat top Venoila pistons and
a very modified head on my TR4.

As a consequence the engine 'drinks' a little and now and again when fresh and
a tiny water seepage can be seen on the middle head studs where there is a bit
more pressure, but its a small price to pay. This beds in after a while via
gunge movement but teaches you to monitor the levels in the header tanks in
the meantime.

Regards

Tony
