Sweet. So that should put my compression at about 9.35. I never knew what figure to use for the gasket. I never asked.

The value I use for the Best Gasket head gasket thickness is 0.046”.  The cc’s I use for compression ratio calculations for the Best Gasket head gaskets are 10.00cc for the standard BG gasket, 10.12cc for the big bore BG gasket, and 10.69cc for the 4.030 bore BG head gasket.

I want to say .045" because I set my pistons .005" out of the hole for .040" clearance.
