Maybe an odd question, but can someone out there in rider-land use some calipers and measure the outer casting height?

I just picked up an 02 with a Tom Morgan motor (top, bottom and carb) and am curious to see if the deck height has been altered.

I understand changing the deck height is one of Eric's approaches. Not sure what TM has done here. I will be using a degree wheel to get an idea as to how much butchering has occurred when I pull the top end.

Thanks in advance.

If my memory is right the deck height on the stock engine is right at .020"

I can measure and take a pic of my bike when I get home.

Don't worry. I have it apart now and am seeing what is in here. Lots of work done. Not as pretty as some of Eric's motors I have seen. Just curious. Thanks for the replies.

Eric rarely if ever cuts the deck on a cylinder. He does cut the base on a number of cylinders to enable him to correct transfer port height.
