Ok, so here is the story...
Stock crank, eagle rods, probe piston, unknown year block.
I am building a 7mgte for a '89. Motor has had all the machine work done, surface of deck is good, so no need to redo.
Measured the deck to the saddle of the crank and got 7.788". From what I can find on the forum, stock is supposed to be 7.815"(198.5). These measurements would be lead me to believe that the block has been decked about .027".
I didn't accept this, so I measured the piston protrusion from the deck(true deck) and got .0225". Again from the forum, I read that stock protrusion is .020". So that leads me to believe my deck has been deck just enough to clean it up.
My question is.. Is the rotating assembly combination, eagle rod, probe piston the reason why the deck to saddle measurements vs actual deck don't match, or is some of the info I have gotten incorrect?
Thanks in advance.
