L92/ls3 head gasket thickness help Hi I finally got my rotating assembly put together with mahle 4.070 pistons and scat h beam rods with stock crank, anyways my pistons are sticking out of the bore about .018-.019 that was measuring from the side of the piston were the pin clip is. Anyways I am debating on weather I need a .060 or a .066 head gasket. Heads were slightly surfaced and I do have a mild vvt cam with phaser limiter. Cam is a mast 218/230 568/578 116lsa +4 cam

You should CC the combustion chamber to figure what compression ratio you want to end up with. I would also get an exact measuresment of the pistons. The are several compression ratio Calculator out on the net.
