0.0035 or so, my guy wrote it all down hes real into it. He does all nitrous motors and ----. My wall clearance and ring gap are all set for 30 - 35 psi of boost and 200 - 250 of nitrous.

Oh ok it might be just the way the pic looks. BTW do you have a link to the soda blasting you had done before?

Yeah it also is deceiving because the motor is on end, so the rods are leaning/sliding down.

I did some soda blasting on the head. Are you looking for post-blasted head pics?

Ah theres not much to write up really. I take the head and remove the lifters and cams and cam trays and basically any oil/coolant plugs. And soda blast it wet. The actual soda blaster (wet) cabinet is pretty expensive... $10,000 or more. I just have access to one.

Would it be the same type of tool used in sandblasting?

Not exactly. It operates using compressed air and water. Its a wet blasting system. You can't just stick soda in a sand blaster its way different.
