Getting everything entered now. if anyone has questions about anything feel free to ask
 
Should be all set feel free to add a comment with any questions you have as well as any machine shops near you so i can update the list to be most helpful
 
What is Marnel?
"Chamber Volume:
1990-1994: 60 CC'S 1995-2000: 48 CC'S (note: 98tm castings have smaller exhaust ports) Marnel 43 CC'S"

Isn't the bore rather small?
"Lifter Bore Diameter:
0.0005-0.0022"

Are they supposed to be the same?
"Small End Bore For Bushing:
0.9432-0.9439"
"Small End Bore Finished Inside Diameter:
0.9432-0.9439"

marnel is a company that makes aftermarket heads or at least used to

that would be the oil clearance for the lifter bore let me change that

thats how they are listed on our specs i assume one is with a bushing the other without idk
