Always good to check. I'd use Playdo over clay. Clay is filled with fine sand that hardens at high temp. Don't like the idea of that on my cylinders and under my rings.
But I doubt you'll have an issue with this.
Brutal, I do forget about quench because with my app, lower CR was more important to avoid detonation than proper quench. I know 40-45 is ideal but I think the lower compression would be better for Ben in avoiding detonation than having ideal quench, don't you? In fact, he prob doesn't have proper quench now.
Ben, how thick is your current HG? Any idea how far down the pistons are?
