Re: piston bdc and exhaust port

hello mick.
im not super technical with port timings in degrees although i have checked them with a degree disc in the past
i generally get the piston at btc to line up with the bottom edge of the transfer ports and the exhaust port and use packers/gaskets to achieve this...then worry about getting the squish correct by either the head gasket thickness or in my latest engine i had to alter a head to sit into the barrel
its a bit basic this way and the techno guys will no doubt have an input
but it should be a good starting point for you....
just wouldnt like to to start welding ports if you didnt need too
