Good or no good?? Another question, I have the icon 842 inverted dome pistons, eagle crank and 7.1 scat Rods- pistons in the hole .010-.014 with 440 source heads- Question is what Head gasket thickness recommendation? I'm guessing use the .027 or .030? Thanks Deck height is the distance from the crank center-line to the deck. Are you saying your deck is not parallel with the crank center line? If this is the case, have the machine shop fix it. If you are talking about differences in the piston to deck clearance, then you can live with what you have (not that big of a deal IMO), or look at where the highs and lows are, (is it one crank throw, or is it a rod or two) and start swapping piston and rods around to minimize the cylinder to cylinder variance.
