But 'quench' was for the most part either not understood or simply ignored back in the day. I'm not sure about the other FE's but standard piston to block deck spec on a side oiler was about .030 below deck. If the specs are similiar for other FE's thats a LOT of clearance (and no quench, which is of course a worthy goal). Custom pistons would likely be required to move the piston up in the bore more toward zero deck.
