What is Step Deck?
Is that where the Sleeves are slightly higher then the deck of the block? If so, what is the purpose of this?
And also with copper O rings, I heard that you have to retorque it 3 times to get the headgasket to seal right, is this true?
Can you have Step Deck + O ring at the same time? Or just one or the other?

Re: What is Step Deck? (Percocet)
It creates a perfect rod ratio. It does not create more displacement (not totally true, you can find more on this if you have the money) unless ofcourse you go with a larger bore which is pretty standard since you are having the block sleeved anyways. Keep in mind you will need custom length rods, but i now hear that Eagle has made a shelf rod that will work for this application.
Theres a couple guys doing this on the board. Also if you search under V8kilr (Vince from golden eagle) you will find a big thread on it.
EDIT* Oh damn, i thought you were asking about the deck plate.....oh well.
Ok, step deck. I believe thats where the sleeves are a bit higher above the block deck and the head is machined and has the o-ring in the head. Supposed to create a better seal at the headgasket.

Re: What is Step Deck? (93LSivic)
hey dan you confusing him here.... deckplate is different from step deck. Step Deck is raised sleeve where it actualyl crushes and seals the actual head gasket great for turbo cars. oringing is tricky and i usually reccommend it if you plan on running a true copper style gasket etc.
