Progress on the internals. Pistons are cleaned and balanced. The vintage pistons are Jahns, and came from Pete Blakeley. Vintage parts in our vintage gasser. Should be darn near 12:1 compression when done. Nice and crispy. Block pic shows the relief on every cylinder to clear the 2.02" and 1.6" valves when running a .600 lift cam and rocker combo.

A comment from memory on those Jahn's pistons. If I recall, a buddy used those pistons in his engine many years ago. Looking at them with the heads off later, we got the impression that there seemed to be a problem with what I'll call uneven flame spread. If I recall the upper edge of the domes line up close to the ground of the spark plugs.. I've noted that in one or two photo articles here & in Y-Blk magazine, some later pistons used in our favorite engine have a groove in the dome or the dome is layed back some.. Any Comments?

The "Monster" is as good as any Big Daddy Roth drew. More unique and specific than any of his. Quite a talent you have. I'm looking forward to the final and a clean scan. Super Garage Art.
