high compression pistons
I need some pistons, Here's my trouble.
I have a 2l. with 96mm pistons and cyl.'s
after measuring my clearances with my new 38mm & 48mm valves, I have only .010 clearance at the intake valve. I need at least .090, up to .125. The pistons I have don't have any valve pockets, nor are they thick enough to machine some in. When I bought these, they were all I could find, they are JE SRP pistons. Unfortunately, they still look brand new with only 200 miles of racing on them. Any suggestions? I don't want to space the cylinders out more and lose compression.
Thanks, Steve

I solved my own problem with the help of the EXCELLENT people at JE. And it will only cost me $40.00 plus shipping 2 ways thanks to Rimco Machine. Yes, this is a completely biased plug for these guys.
