We have been thru two stock teardowns at National Races in last four or five months....for us all they have done in piston/gasket height area was add gasket and piston deck heights together and if the total was greater than spec it was OK. I watched piston to top of deck and make sure the piston doesn,t rock and give a bad reading if they catch it on high side. Just my .02 worth

Another one of the unwritten rule changes. So, why have a gasket thickness dimension? Just put a deck height dimension.
