The only thing I have to go by for a quench pad is the KB piston and they don't run it out to the edge of the piston , at least the pictures I have seen of them they do not ?? but this of course is ASSuMEing that the KB pad is correct

(1) correct, not out to the edge (2) I think KB expects (rightly so) a person to measure their (quench) clearance & mill the quench pad down to where it's right for each eng. that's what I'm doing on my 451.


And what happens if you dont?



Depends , if they are too tall they hit the head, if you have too much distance between the head and the piston you negate the quench effect and get no benefit from it .
