Default Re: cast iron bowtie

Firebird, an experienced machinist will have a fixture to measure the piston dome/top thickness. If you can machine to the needed dimension and have enough thickness remaining it will be fine to do so.

I "think" it has been said the Vortec is best with very small or no dome.

I do not know the min thickness needed but figger someone will help with that.
