Hi Panic, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain in a little more detail for this rookie!

Edit: I read a little online about quench and it's effects. So the quench measurement is from the top of the piston to the top of the combustion chamber? And this measurement differs from the valve to piston clearance. So ideally you still want .090" valve to piston clearance with a quench of .040"-.050", factoring in a compressed head gasket? Have I finally got this straight?
