Civic7psi, I think what is being said is that, for a little compression, the answer is go witha head gasket instead of milling the head down. Seems more reasonable......if you don't like what you build, take the gasket away instead of then replacing the head.

Yeah, open heart surgery on the B would be the balls, and would probably be the safest way to ensure piston/valve clearance, but for just a bit more compression and a lot lesss money, the head gasket may be the way to go.

Anybody else w/info TODA vs. Muegen gaskets?
