Keep updated engine build post! I have a set of these coming to me too.
I have been told that in 99+ blocks the deck height is 0.020" higher so the compression goes down to ~9.8:1, but I don't want to plug up this build thread.

Huh. How much were they? Got one years ago, installed it a year ago, totally amazing great fit for the car.

That seems to run really well. High idle, but nice and responsive. You're using the ID1000's? I'd really like to know what all your injector settings are. I got ID to translate their specs into MS-talk, but, they don't seem to tune as well ever since I did them. I don't entirely agree with the translation they did, but anyway.... What have you got (actually, perhaps just send me an msq?)
Megasquirt-3 MS3 Flex Fuel E85 etc.
(I haven't plubmed or installed it yet)
I rooted it

Sorry whoever spec'd your wall clearance fucked up, then. Hand a set of Supertechs to a normal machine shop, they see "forged" and set the clearance at .004". BTDT. Lots of skirt wear, ringland edge wear, and general malaise results. Either that or your engine is broken.
The motors we build are silent on start-up.

Within 5 minutes of driving down the road everything gets silent.

Everyone is asking Sav about "His" clearances. He sells built engines, why would he give you the recipe? Look up the recommended clearances for the STs, you will see it is less than 0.004". Do you guys know what the factory P2W clearance is? Really shows how the difference in material effects that number! "My guess" is if you were closer to sayyyyy 0.003" then you will have plenty of clearance and not have the cold start noise.
