YES ... A lot will depend upon the size of the bore, the compression height of that piston, the piston to wall clearance in that bore, the rod material and bearing clearances.skinny z wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 2:25 pm I've generally used .040" as my go to guide for clearance/quench value.
These are your everyday 350/383 SBC's with 7000 RPM peak engine speeds. Current lump has a .014" deck and an .026" gasket with a flat top hypereutectic piston.
What's possible at a minimum for this?
How much is dependant on the piston to bore clearance? (as in piston rock if that's a significant contributor)
With your example, you'll have plenty.
I have successfully run .025" total with that scenario.
