Turbo Engine Build loads of daft questions

[Swirl]

I'm embarking on a massive learning curve, my mate builds engines for a living and usually does most of my engine work, this time I want to go solo, right some of you know I've recently purchased the start of my build, 1186cc Je pistons and block powerscreen bottom end and head, I'm probably going to buy a bandit bottom end rather than use the powerscreen for the usual reasons.

First daft question, Deck height, to measure deck height do I need to install a base gasket or can I install the block for a rough idea where I am with this block and pistons

[clivegto]

Yes you can get a rough idea with out the base gasket.

Ohh... this could be interesting. Im going to follow along, you can ask the daft stuff and i will take notes.....
