Have you checked what the stroke is? 4" is wd 4.5" wd45 crank. M&W ap46 is thw wd - wc part number I think.

while you have the head off take a syringe in ccs and see how much fluid that dish holds and how far below the deck the outside ledge is at tdc for me . will you?

I think the M&W's hold about 70cc. I will check for sure, I have both AP46 and AP48 bead blasted and cleaned up. I'll take a piece of plexiglas and a syrenge and check for sure in the next day or two. I'll also post the compression height.

I know with the CC of the dish and the comp height, I figured them at just shy of 7.5 comp, but I didn't have any plexiglas and the CC measurement was only "close".

No plexiglass and allowing for surface tension,my sp48 M&W's held 83cc.The new sp48 sold by Hershal Adams held 90cc.
