- Thank Everybody to help me solve it out.
- basically, if cylinder larger than 1024, make it helf will do the magic
- and I call the Conner Tech. verified that should be
- type cyl. head WPcom LZone Sect size
- 47 903 8 0 903 46 162
- actually it's
- 47 1806 4 ? ? 46 162
-
- so the rule of thumb is cyl/2 and head*2 as long as size same or less
