Apparently the tolerance stack up on an M96 engine can see the pistons anywhere from flat with the deck to 1mm under deck height.
For context the head gasket is 0.65mm.
Looks like we’re blueprinting every engine we build in order to eradicate what to me is a ridiculous level of variation- essentially an entire point of compression.
