    Hi Gary, been watching 71 to 73 bugs lately since the older ones are hard to get anymore in one piece. Got another question on my 40hp build? was just checking the stock piston and jug deck height and the first one is .082 over the allowed limit of .069. Not a shimable fix. To get it there do I really need to have it machined down or since it's just a stock rebuild will the compression be enough or not? Thanks Tim
