Hello Mark and KR owners, How do you think I intrepid this? Since the head is the combustion chamber, and you can't measure it anyway, the deck height is the distance that the piston sits down in the cylinder (or sticks out).
I did not know that one cannot measure it, but I did it anyway. Don't be so dam sensitive, we all at one time or another say some thing that can be misunderstood, who's perfect .If you wrote something elsewhere they why would you say that you "can't measure it anyway"? We are not mind readers, if a reference is made elsewhere then why was not a reference or pointer to it? I built my KR during the early 80's without an internet to confuse things and everything was scratch built, there was a steep learning curve and it still is flying today, take a look at my website. One just has to use the gray matter that was given to them without the ego! And, I like the internet but don't get on this group because of the the ready flame or jumping on another if a disagreement or opinion is different. You see I have a great advantage I also have a switch that says OFF or DELETE! Smile you look better that way ;). Take Care and Happy Building!
