Quench Calculation Ok, I may be a noob but is there any info on calculating this so I can choose the right head gasket in relation to my compression. What all do I need to figure out, my buddy is testing me and wants me to find out before he does haha

Put the piston at TDC and check how far in or out of the cylinder bore the piston is with a dial indicator.
Minus that number from your compressed headgasket thickness = your quench distance .

I would reccomend reading THIS. It is a little something I wrote a while back that will explain pretty much everything you need to know about "quench".
