What's the recommended piston to rod clearance after zeroing out the deck?

What do you mean by piston to rod clearance? Like the small end rod bearing clearance?

I suspect he's talking about quench height.

Yea the post is confusing, if you mean piston to valve or head, I've never seen an instance where milling for straightness caused a problem, especially with a stock engine. Typically not much is taken off to make true.

Some of it can be made up with a thicker head gasket.

That's seems to be what I should have said. My buddy told me to check it, he's out of state so only so much help there. But that's how he worded it.
