Great news Tom!

I ran into picture posting issues for the first time yesterday too... said my pics were too big...?! Haven’t had this issue since the old format. The site wants the pics in landscape orientation... I simply rotated my pics, and they loaded fine

Within the last week, I tried to post a picture but it said it was too big. I resized it (smaller) using the 'paint' feature on my computer. Works every time.

What do your pistion tops look like, are they stock Model T shape tops or something different ? From the picture the combustion chamber looks hemispheric with no swish area and the valve area looks like it is for stockish size and lift valves.

The engine the head is on is stock pistons and cam. I don't think high compression pistons will work. Higher lift cam might work. There might be different compression ratios made. I'll wait and see after the first one is made and tested.
