thanks boo

I know, you have matched your pistons and heads, the earlier posts were probably too much un-asked for information, but I know there are some guys on the forum who haven't seen the inside of the mva heads, or the matching pistons.

I was also trying to point out that you can't just use flat tops to get the compression down, and mill the heads down to a smaller size. Well, I guess you could, but it would defeat the whole design of the heads and pistons.
