I n the UK every person uses approximately 150 litres of water a day, a ï¬ gure that has been growing every year by 1% since 1930. If you take into account the water that is needed to produce the food and products you consume in your day-to-day life (known as embedded water) you actually consume 3400 litres per day.
Easy Deck Height. Deck Height is the space between the piston dome and the combustion chamber, at top dead center (TDC). When you are building an engine, it is a good idea to measure the deck height and adjust it as necessary to achieve the proper specs. It is most critical to check your deck height if your crankcase was surfaced, your heads have been flycut, or if you are changing pistons or cylinders.
Often times you want a nice deck without the obstructing view of a railing. So how high can your deck be off the ground before building code requires a guard railing. Surprisingly most building codes allow a height of 30 inches off grade before the guard rail requirements kick-in. This doesn't mean you can't have a deck under 30 inches and have a railing on it. It just means you are not required to put one unless it's higher than 30 from the grade around it.
