Any thoughts on what the maximum that an N/A block can be decked before it becomes an interference engine?

A previous race engine i done had 0.5mm but i want to go a bit more adventurous

I assume you run some other cam than the orignal one, so I think the only way is to measure what you have clearance wise and go from there.

1.5 mm is fine. probably 2 also.

Don't get the non interference thing.... 90%of all engines are interference.
