well i took my engine to the machine shop.he installed the block gaurd honed the cylinders, and decked the block. then the head ended up needing decked also. and now the block is going to need alignhoned, which he said will raise the crank a little bit. i am going turbo. i bought srp 9.2:1 pistons. should i worry about my compression being to high, or my valves hitting the pistons?thanks

 

only way to know for sure is to clay the motor

 

i'd really like to run a oem headgasket, but i was wondering if i found out the thickness of the oem headgasket, and figured out how much was milled off the head and block and added that together and got a cometic headgasket that thick, and are cometic gaskets reliable?
