Motor back from machine shop. Liners are now flush with deck
#11
I know about the 1oz of prevention thing but sometimes one has to stop and call enough "enough" I guess.
If I had holed bolts, I would have used them as I have the stainless wire and twister pliers.

The total material removed was .016".
The headgasket removed was:
.048" -fire ring between cylinders
.053" -composite crushed
.058" -composite non-crushed
So .016" + .008" (difference between the OE HG and the .040" MLS HG) = .024" difference.
If .010"= .5:1 (added to or subtracted from the current compression ratio) then I've added .124 the compression ratio.
The stock compression ratio is 9.35:1 but I see the machine shop wrote 9.37:1 on the block. Not sure if that was what they measured or found..?
Either way, +.124 isn't much to add.
This is also not taking into consideration the difference between the bores of the headgaskets:
Composite: 96.08mm (3.7525")
vs
MLS 94.21mm (3.7085")
I'll probably pick some additional ratio points up there too.
Maybe someone good with lots of formulas & #'s can figure out the new compression ratio, but I'm sticking with the .040" Cometic MLS gaskets.
I'm guessing it'll be close to 9.5x:1?

I'm not sure where you got the assumption I was going to lower it back down? The rest of you'd thoughts are mine exactly.
