So, that would be 0.025" piston deck height and a 0.020" gasket, added together to make a 0.045" Squish/Quench, is that correct? Did you find a part number on the pistons?

There is what looks like a casting clock on the inside of one skirt with the number 1436 and 89 in it . also a W or M on the inside of the casting on top, and a 4 on the piston in the side near the wrist pin. Other than that there is the number 40 stamped on top of the piston
