Need help with windowed piston and bdc

So this might sound stupid but i think i went a bit high on my window on my piston and when its bdc it clears my exhaust port fully but then a small portion of the window is visable at bdc. To me that seems like a problem because isnt it suppose to be expelling exhaust at bdc not sucking in air? Thanks guys.

That shouldn’t hurt it, the reeds will prevent back flow to the carb. The reeds will be closed before the piston reaches bdc.

Dont mind the cylinder its an old one im not using. This is bdc. The window is slightly exposed. Is that okay to run?
 
It won't keep it from running with a reed... a reed setup only cares about the transfer and the exaust... You could trench the intake to the transfer and the window works both ways...
 
As long as you're using a reed valve, it will be OK.
Yeah but we all know that the g2 reeds sometimes dont fully sit flat. Ive had brand new ones that end up open just a hair once seated. Doesnt effect idle or throttle but i thought it might now considering the window is high. But i guess if you both think im good then im good lol

You want to file the surfaces flat on everything... The cage has flash also... It's a miracle any of those engines even run without fussing with them
 
6m bolts surfaces filed... The casting flash on the cage...
