I had some confusion, but it seems tomakealittle sense. Dome offset isnt centered, so parts of the piston maycomecloser to the head in places and more gap in others.http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=84332 (3/4 downthepage is where part of it starts posted by Russ (Double M). Has anybody on the list done this in the past and had any realsuccess?What are the downsides to this? Thoughts?
