I want to raise the compression of my 305 that was bored .060 over and since the block was decked, I wanted to know how thin could I go on a head gasket? Is 0.020 to thin?

Hey chevy, I wouldn’t go any thinner than that which would give me .040 clearance between the top of the piston and the head otherwise the piston will kiss the head.
If I can find a gasket thats .020, I will still have enough clearance.
