Im still waiting on my block and stuff so I can get my short block together and spec out my piston to deck height so I can order my heads. The shop is apperently running rediculously behind because Ive been waiting a month now for my block to get machined and I was wondering if with a stock crank, callies compstar rods and diamond -8.6 dish pistons if anyone knows how far they will come out of the hole so I can get a head start on ordering my heads to get my desired compression. also does anyone know the compressed thickness of a stock gm mls gasket? thanks!!!

rod length, 6.125

i would still wait to measure it... i found that out the hard way... i would not take that chance again, it gets expensive.. i would say just be patient.
