 Ok guys, I need some help. I am building a 468 for my Jeep and need some insight. I have a few parts questions and would like some CONSTRUCTIVE remarks. No brand bashing without some meat and potatoes to back it up.

 I am looking for advice on a couple things. I am wanting about 10:1-10.5:1 compression. I am pretty sure I am gonna have to mill some off the heads to get the compression up. Anything to look out for or any idea on how much I will have to take off to reach my goal? And will Positive Valve Guide Seals work with these heads, or do I need to have them "fitted"? Also, I have read alot of good about the gapless 1st rings, but some bad. I am looking at them from a longevity standpoint. Not from the myth that they give you more power. I have read they are good from the standpoint of leak down staying more consistent over a period of time. I will not be reving this motor past 5500rpm, but it will be exposed to lots of off-camber, banging around, 8 hour a day thrashing. Any other suggestions? Critiques?
 Thanks,
 Clay
