Hello everyone. Great information. I am restoring a 75 f350 4 door. Installing it on a 94 f250 frame. It has a 7.3 idi factory turbo engine. I took block to have machined .020 over. Balance internals and new exh valves and guides. The machine shop decked the block .07 with out telling me. I already have Mahle ceramic coat pistons. The problem is they stick above deck to .041 now. Can I run this? I have read where 1 guy ran his .052 above deck with no issue. I did order a cam to lower compression to run more boost. If I shave tops of piston, should I recoat tops or run without ceramic tops. Or clay the pistons and run pistons .041 out if no issues? Thanks
