I know man. I was agreeing with you it was like double sarcasm (alittle from you, and a little from me). English text is so freakin hard to understand... Damn it.... Freakin text.....LOL the sarcasim detector now thats a good one I should use that on someone nextime.....I was just trying to add to your sarcasm a bit.
Besides I thought the majority of square decking was done on V6 and V8 engines???? I don't see why it would even be neccesary on a common inline 4 or 6 banger.... Most square decking is done to even compression, not raise it. It is also used for push rod design engines so that there is even symetrical lift for every valve to corect any awkward symetry from a casted block, even semetry for the entire internal assembly as well. In the case of the KA square decking is not needed. KA uses a cross flow head design, that already delivers a perfect flame front. It also runs on a lifter assembly which means no use of push rods. Same condition as for the KA24de which uses bucket style hydraulics. Even in the condition of milling the head isn't to recomended either since you only bring the valves closer to TDC. We would be talking of fractions of mm under .030, any more milling than taht and you would have to use a cam with less lift/duration.Most work that does get done on inlines is milling heads and also clover leaf welding...... Last I recall the 1989 KAE pistons are raised above the deck hiegth, the dish is raised .020mm so I don't even know how that would be possible to square deck a block that doesn't need it.... Square decking is most commonly used on V shaped engines because one deck heigth can be slightly off from the other showing a small indifference in compression ratio from one head or the other. In other words in all my experience I have seen no reason to ever square deck an inline engine. The only time I have seen it done on inlines are on warped or cracked blocks, but then again if I had to take the time to magnuflux a block to find a crack I would be pissed and wouldn't care to deck it anyways.
Please leave this forum sliders you lose... Big time.... Any one who has common sence on engine building knows you are a FRAUD In the process of calling me an idiot with rambling of your non sence, you have no F#$KING clue what square decking really is....
