Hello all, long time lurker but first thread here so bear with me.
I did a bunch of searching but can't seem to find a spec online or in the FSM.
My GF and I are building up a 2fe with a 83 2f block bored .040 over with .060 shaved off the deck and a 89 3FE head for her 84 FJ60.
I am wondering if anyone has any guidance on what the safe squish clearance (piston to cylinder head) is for this type of motor is. My machine shop says .035-.040 is a general minimum.
The bottom end is built up and the highest part of the piston is at .022 above the deck, trying to decide whether to pull it apart and shave down the pistons.
Also, does anyone know for sure what the compressed thickness of a factory 3fe head gasket is? HG measures .070-.072 uncompressed and my shop says the toyota HG's usually compress down to .062.
And lastly, let me take the opportunity to say thanks. This build wouldn't be possible without the volumes of wisdom and information already on this site.
