Engine Geometry
Whats up guys/gals?
What are the aspects of insuring a properly "squared" (lack of better word) engine geometry? I bet there is alot, I have searched the net but came up blank (did get stuff on jet, turbine, and rocket engines though lol). How do you calculate this stuff? And how do you insure that she is indeed "square" (besides having all lengths of the block equal, all blocks I guess would be "rectangle" huh? lol) Does anyone have a link they could post that would lead me in the general direction?
Thanks a million,
-Chris

Everything should be measured off the crank centerline. If your talking about setting the deck height there is a specific procedure for doing it. Any competent machine shop should be able to do it for you.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
