    head gaskets come in dif thickness look in fel-pro book i would not cut any more off the deck i check piston pin heigth by diving the piston pin in 1/2 add half to the side measurement from top of the deck of the piston to top of the pin and add the half of the piston pin this will get you very close if are use pistons with no numbers on the pistons IF SO LOOK UP THE NUMERS and if you add half the stroke of the crank and the rod and your piston ch will tell you how much you need to deck to but should be mock up so you know all your parts are the right size if any or all parts are off just a small amount you get stack up and and can be up or down on size on deck height ...TECHINSPECTOR 1 IS FASTER THAN ME
