Piston is .010 in the hole, spec is .004. I'm leaning on leaving the valves alone and using whatever gasket gives me the clearance needed. Those 2 together should give me the .035 Larry mentioned.

In hindsight, I should have gotten a smaller cam so I could keep some compression........
Done it both ways, more compression and less than ideal cam timing and vice versa. Cam timing always more important than compression.
