I'm building an 046 w/ the "good port timing" D-jug. Measuring squish tonight with the "4 pieces of solder and grease taking the jug off" method. I got .039 with old gasket, .021 with no gasket. Gasket itself measures .02. Error is probably in my crappy calipers or the operator.
Then I'm reading some old threads on here about solder thickness. Someone said that too thick of solder gives you a false reading, and you should use .031 or something like that. My solder is rosin core electronics solder, but .062. With no gasket, it took a good bit of effort to turn the flywheel over.
Should I be worried about the accuracy of my measurements because of the thicker solder? Physics tells me no, but you start to second guess yourself, ya know?
