Piston Protrusion

[BHaner]

So... Seems I am getting some conflicting information.

One person is telling me that on my motor, the pistons should protrude ABOVE the level of the deck in a factory application.

Another is telling me that they should be BELOW or equal to the level of the deck.


Who is correct?
