Yeah, that's my plan too. CC the original head and pistons, measure deck clearance, and try to measure the compressed thickness of the factory head gasket, then share my baseline findings. That won't be until I get a new head, valve job, and clean up the casting a bit. As soon as it warms up, I'm going to check the factory cam and see what the ABDC and the rest of the opening closing points are. Then I'll not what the real starting point is on compression.
