Moving forward with my barrage of questions, I have 2 more.
1: I have a hydraulic lifter with a flipped plunger to test PTV clearance with. Someone on another forum told me that it will be .030 on the high side as compared to a solid lifter. I just want to double check this, is that true?
2: I'm fairly certain even before I check PTV that I'm probably going to need to notch my pistons. When I do this, do I have to take the pistons back out afterward to clean everything? I'm just worried about shavings getting inbetween the pistons and the walls, is this a possibility? I've even thought about turning the engine upsidedown on the stand while notching to prevent this but maybe I'm worrying for nothing.
