NOTE: Second ring end gaps do not need extra clearance. Dyno and track testing has shown that 34 degrees or less total ignition timing makes the best HP and time.

Conclusion: The block was machined for the standard KB piston size and the pistons were not the standard piston size eventhough they were within
