3/4" cylinder head deck thickness compared to what? I always see companies like AFR and Mast motorsports saying their cylinder heads feature a 3/4" deck thickness. But compared to what? What do OEM castings run for a deck thickness on 243's? L92's? 241's? Etc? I've been searching the last half hour to try and find the stock deck thickness of a oem casting. Any info would be appreciated.
Thats about right....
And with a four bolt arrangement around the chamber the thicker decks tend to stay alot more rigid (less flex) under high cylinder pressure situations (and detonation for that matter). They hold a head gasket better under less than ideal situations.
