What is the deal with flat top pistons? I don't understand what you would gain exept possible future clearence problems.

By the way don't forget the valve guides and roller rockers. Stud mount on twisted wedge.

That brings me to my car. Well I got the heads on but i encountered a couple of problems. This hooker didn't want to start and didn't.

I immediately thought it was timming, which it was but not initally. The problem was when I installed the roller rockers (adjustable stud mount) I didn't adjust them right I snugged them a little to much so all compression was lost. (my first time with stud mount) So obviously that ment taking the valve covers off to readjust. Anyone with any input on these feel free to jump in at any time.

Problem Two

Now that the rockers were readjusted now the timming was off. No big deal couldn't quite figure out how that happened but obviously something got moved. No problem reset the timming and fired it up. Well it ran but not quite right. Timming again played around with it. Couldn't get it to run right even with the timming light. OK maybe I am off a tooth or two with the distributer. Pulled it turned it one notch and bam fired right up sounded pretty good it just needed a little fine tunning. I put the timming light on it and the timming numbers are no where near where there supposed to be. Now I am confused. There is a timming bracket down there thats nothing like whats in the book and I'm having problems trying to figure out exactly what part of this bracket I'm supposed to use to get this thing timmed. Illl let you know what I find.
