    Deck is 2 mm milled and the ported Head also
    all is ventilated thru a oem buick compound carburetion system with two front ,accelerator pump equipped, stromberg aav 1 carbs.
    The engine is prepared to a full filtering oiling system.

    Jenz,
    What compression ratio did wind up with using the BMW pistons? Same Mahle part numbers you sent me pics of? Engine sounds sweet. Thanks! John
