[QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 593682, member: 25"] I see a fair number of upgraded motors get disassembled after failure have valve imprints on the pistons..... so take that for what its worth.... you'll never change the piston to valve or piston to head clearances inside a motor and if they are tight from the factory... yep you have contact..... if they are loose from the factory and you upgrade springs and keep the RPMs moderate... then you don't have contact.... My favorite picture to show in times like this is: [ATTACH=full]104757[/ATTACH] How close did that piston need to be that head so you could read the engraved marking on the top of the piston? It sounded smooth while running at idle.... it was disassembled because it popped a head gasket. This was a "built" motor assembled by a "racing" shop...... I'd have to go see if I still have the notes on this, but IIRC this clearance was right at the tight edge of factory, perhaps just a TOUCH tighter..... Piston out of the same motor: [ATTACH=full]104758[/ATTACH] This motor had beehives in it with a well known camshaft. [/QUOTE]
