Different places. This was on my local fox page.What where????
It’s the way to do it. It’s how I done it ( except I only had two ends to worry about.) For a Ford banger it’s absolutely necessary as the stock piston is over .100 down in the hole. I did mine w/o the rings on the pistons and measured the piston at the point directly above, and along the same line that the pin was below.So the machine shop I dropped the block off at says I need to do the old school method of measuring the 4 corners of the block with the outer 4 pistons installed.... this is to do the zero decking of the block.... is this how it's done normally? I like this shop and the owner is fair how do I do this without screwing it up?
Good to know thanks Mike, now should i use a set of feeler gauges or is there a way to do this with a dial indicator?It’s the way to do it.

Why make it harder than it has to be? A straight edge across the deck, and a feeler gauge to determine how much has to be cut off.Good to know thanks Mike, now should i use a set of feeler gauges or is there a way to do this with a dial indicator?
