OK, forgive me for my lack of memory at the moment. To figure quench height all you do is:
Compressed gasket thickness - Piston out of hole height (average of 0.007") - head milling = quench height
Is this right? I seem to think that there is something missing, like some clearance between the head surface and piston no counting the gasket. Thanks.
