Engine Assembly
#1
Hello all, I am about to assemble my engine for a road car, the first one in a long time and I have a few questions.  The engine will have a Paul Bonewell fast road cam, mildly lightenened flywheel, oversize inlet valves ( because the block was on the shelf complete with valves all unworn), 1 1/8 SU carb and Honda pistons.  I believe the pistons are 50 thou low on the block which I intend to fix to the crankcase with a neoprene gasket.  My questions are
1. How high is a standard block?
2. Should I reduce the block height so the pistons reach to the top?
3. Do I reduce the height at the top, the bottom or some of each?
4. Do I increase the reduction for the gasket thickness.?

I have had several differing answers to these questions and would like to find a concensus.

Colin
