    New question. After assembly, my piston to deck height is average .030 down in the cylinders. To acheive the .040 clearance you were talking about Tech, I was going to use a .010 steel head gasket to keep the compression ratio you were talking about. I am not going to deck the block! What do you think?
    Thanks
    Brad

    Will keeping the clearance at .040 work similar as decking the block? I know its not the same but will it be close?
