Thin Head Gasket and Comprtession Ratio

[Ronno6]

Perfect! I have used .043" quench with 9.005" deck/.038" gasket and 9.015" deck/.028" gasket. Have run as much as 9.4:1 compression with that quench height with no detonation, even with iron heads and small cam (204 intake duration).

Just don't assume current deck height is 9.025". More important to tell the machinist the final deck height you want rather than how much to remove.

The machine shop squared everything off the main bearing bores. In essence they will have achieved the same result.

As you can plainly see, the #1 piston is at TDC and is exactly .028" below the deck.
Perfect!
