Iv just rebuilt my cossie engine with new accralite pistons 7.4.1,been reassembled with standard rods,the block has been decked slightly just to clean the surface up.Now its all together the pistons stick out of the top of the block slightly,hardly anything,but are still higher than the block.Is this ok?Any ideas,i cant remember what the originals were like! Doesnt say anything in the workshop manual.Im using a mountune wrc 4 layer head gasket btw.cheers.
i think u should talk to a engine builder as my brother had problem like that with cosworth pistons and multilayer gasket and when he took head of after melting piston you could see where pistons had been hitting the head and a friend said he should get some machined from top of piston
