course ya dont lol, you seems so picky with some stuff lol. but a way you could figure out the farthest you would be able to go is by puting you quad at tdc removing the cam chain and rotating the cam untill the valves touches the piston and marking the spot on the head and meausuring the...
looks like your geeting there, try some high grit sand paper next 400-600 and then so on up from there, does your camera have a macro focus option, that would help alot with the image.
trail and error as in psuhing it too far and slamming your piston into your valve lol. whatever you do with it oncee you get it id say pull the lpug and trun it over by hand too make sure nothing hits
yeah but doing subframe would be taking wheight out inthe warrior were you dont need to id be nice if you coule take some outta the front. you just have to build anyhting tso that any forces are put on the aluminum in a comppression or pulled on (cant think of a sciwentific term)
