height. I made a tool that screws into the spark plug hole. I put the piston I'm checking at TDC and install the tool. The conductor has a step in it the tool fits into. It's kind of like a piston stop. The reason behind this is to check for bending rods. When boost is turned up and or lots of nitrous for power the stock rod configuration works great because it will bend before it actually breaks. I also run the stock pistons for the reason if the engine detonates the ring lands will break, and power will fall off drastically because of it being a 4 cylinder and each having 25% of the total power being made. The third thing the conductor does is directs the fuel to it and makes a rich area that helps feed the pre-chamber. So, this why I came up with the name conductor because it plays a major role in several ways to help make the engine more efficient.

Aaaah! OK! Yes that IS interesting!
So direct the flame front in the direction in which it will 'light the whole fire' the soonest, giving max pressure at the optimum crank angle.
I wish there were pictures of your combustion chamber?
"check piston height":
Sounds like you have done nasty things to a poor old micrometer to make that tool?

Wow!... Did I give you an idea here!??
(I actually keep my best ones to myself lately.
Yes that as stupid as trying to patent them I know. But less stupid than posting them on this forum I have come to realize.
A bit of a quandary...)
What are you thinking in terms of copper plating a head and piston tops?
Is that still on the cards?
