In a stroker situation, the Deck height from the center of the main bearing bore is critical to planning your piston compression height. To do this, you need to be able to measure from the deck to a reference at the top of your main bearing bores. I did not have a round stock straight edge to do this - and found that a flourescent tube is dang near perfect as a straight edge. To calculate deck height= (Main bearing bore/2)+measurement from top of bore to deck. I found this block to be 12.379" to 12.376" as measured fore and aft of each cylinder bore back to the main bearing centerline. Not a bad situation to get only .003" variance using a flourescent light bulb.
