Pat, I wasn't saying you're BS'ing, or anything about your post at all. I was simply pointing out that, in my opinion, Tech's advice about squish is dead on accurate and very easy to understand. He's only explaining "squish", and I think he did it in a way that makes it very clear how the component parts, including the head gasket, need to be considered in establishing deck height. Your points about line boring to set the foundation for the build are dead on, too.
