A Side Oiler Like We've Never Seen
With the piston and rod combo on the crank, you can see the zero deck height of the piston at TDC (top dead center) and the Shelby-provided block studs, but you probably can't tell the steel cylinder liners sit .003-inch over the deck of the block. This is done because sealing the combustion chambers on an all aluminum engine can be difficult--but with the cylinder liners a bit high, extra clamping pressure is applied to the critical cylinder/cylinder head mating surface.
