[quote=Alchemi]I have a 68 non hp 2bbl short block sitting assembled with new rings and bearings, I can not say for sure that the deck is untouched, but I do have a couple of pistons proud of the deck, they are dished
I will get some pics up soon [/quote

Did you check them all? I have the same piston right here next to me and the the only way it would be above the deck is if either the factory cut the block too much originally, which isn't the norm as they are usually tall, or someone cut it to square during a rebuild. Is the factory stampings still intact on the front pass side ID pad ?

The CH of that piston is 1.932, same as the HP flat top, and on a blueprint spec block deck it is .0025 in the hole .
