DP #24 Engine failure....

Drooze,
The way I've always read the rule books a Stocker engine has to be built by blueprint specs. I'm of the opinion you can't just stack up .066 gaskets to get piston to head clearance and be legal. There have to be some specs on the engine as to piston above the deck or below the deck. The way tech has treated me is if the spec calls for below the deck it can be at zero deck and below, not above. If it calls for above the deck it has to be above the deck. What gives? Are you just throwing out all the rules and doing as you please or is someone letting or telling you to overlook the rules becaue you are a DP owner? Are you posting on here how you are building an engine that won't get through tech? I think that would be the last thing I would be posting.
