Deck Height - One Cylinder is different, is this okay? Plus 7.3 compression ratio?

[QUOTE="atafonso, post: 603520, member: 23592"] For true TDC, do not use the dial gauge. The piston can dwell on top for a few crank degrees without moving it much, making it difficult to have an accurate measurement with the dial gauge. The bolt i said will act as a crank stopper, the size is not critical as long as you can stop the crank roughly 1/4 to 1/2 way down. Fit the deck height tool with the bolt installed, torque it as you would normally. Rotate the crank clockwise until it stops by the bolt. Look at the degree pulley and write how many degrees. Now turn the crank anticlokwise until it stops by the bolt again. Check the degrees. Now take the two measurements, and divide the difference between the two measurements by 2. That is your TRUE TDC. Remove the bolt, rotate the crank until that degree number and there you have it. Abel [/QUOTE]
