[pics] Update on my engine..
Here it is as of now. The rest of the shortblock goes together tomorrow and hopefully it will go in the car. The heads are having new guides put in and will be back probably tues or wed. So we're looking at this weekend most likely. Man... 1 week sure has stretched into almost 1.5 months! :lol: :lol:

Overall C/R is 11.55 :1 .. that's plenty! :D The bigger valve relief keeps the CR down and allows for bigger valves and stuff in the future with no worry.

Sounds about right. There's always some kinda delay. Believe me, I know!

Did you have your block decked? It looks as though it was not decked at all.

Re: [pics] Update on my engine.. (Glock'94)
Make sure your quench area is set correctly. I run a .006 deck clearance with a Felpro 1010 gasket which has a compressed thickness of .038" for a quench area of .044". A high compression engine needs a tight quech to help surpress detonation. It forces the mixture into the combustion chamber and will not support combustion in the quench region.
I'll admit I'm not an expert on this but its work talking over with your engine builder. I run a 10.8:1 compression and 35 degrees total advance with no detonation problems or at least no problems that I know of or that are detected by a knock sensor.
