<VV> was 3 pistons smile, now 3k power SOLVED!

Can you EVER eliminate the POSSIBILITY of contact (with these engines) ?  I
don't think so, but I've never measured.  Maybe the stock cam doesn't have
enough lift, but I can imagine when some of these aluminum cam gears spun on
people, a valve or two might lock in the down position, and the pistons are
still moving - something's gotta give.

With my milling the head, a rather high lift cam, potential is there - I
completely agree - gotta measure this time.

I like the looks of making a valve to cut a relief in the piston.  But HEY,
I've already got a relief there !!!  Albeit, accidentally.  Heh-heh
