When I had a problem and asked why having to little deck height (the piston further down the hole) was a problem. They came up with the cockamamy excuse that "it would allow me to run more camshaft (without having piston to valve problems) I quickly replied how about a thicker head gasket? Wouldn't that achieve the same thing? They were dumfounded. And tossed me anyway.
But the rule got changed a couple of months later.
