And any comments / observations you choose to share either on or off list. The motor I am building has a 89 mm piston and liner kit from BFE along with Corrello rods / bolts and a Crower dummy main crank connected at the front with a ATI Super Damper and at the rear to a Fidanza Alloy Flywheel with diaphragm clutch, an HVDA conversion with alloy drive shaft to a Quaife 4.11:1 diff. and alloy back cover. Stainless Steel valves with 0.050 oversize intake thru Mang. Bronze guides. H/S roller rockers on alloy pedestals. BPNW 270 duration cam. The TR4A head has had 0.040 removed mostly to true things up and remove prior imperfections. The head chambers have been mildly worked to smooth any sharp edges and even things out with a resulting chamber volume of 60.5cc each. I am planning on installing Gasket Works 0.022 copper gasket with their 0.005 “O” compression rings on the head side of the gasket that will be sprayed with a copper coating on each side. Gasket Works sent a set of Fo8 individual gaskets that has allowed me to obtain a liner protrusion of 0.0025 to 0.003. Am aiming at a compression ratio of around 9.75 to 1+/- . Looking forward to as many responses as possible to assist in trying to get this critical step as close to right as I can.</div><div class="yiv2896602717ydp2984ea6cyiv8272376385">DC</div><div class="yiv2896602717ydp2984ea6cyiv8272376385"><IMG_3668.jpeg></div></div></div>** <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" class="yiv2896602717" ymailto="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br clear="none" class="yiv2896602717"><br clear="none" class="yiv2896602717">Donate: <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" class="yiv2896602717" target="_blank" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br clear="none" class="yiv2896602717">Archive: <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" class="yiv2896602717" target="_blank" href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs">http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs </a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" class="yiv2896602717" target="_blank" href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br clear="none" class="yiv2896602717"><br clear="none" class="yiv2896602717">Unsubscribe/Manage: <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" class="yiv2896602717" target="_blank" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/yellowtr3@yahoo.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/yellowtr3@yahoo.com</a><br clear="none" class="yiv2896602717"></div>
