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.
