must be an error man, shaving the head is only a minor increase in comp, 12.1:1 is a LOT to come from just a 30 thou shave and thin gasket.

30 thou is very thin, like a few sheets of paper.

yeah true.. hmm well im not sure i will be happy with a low 11 comp i just got word from the machine shop that i have bent valves :/ soo getting those done now. so i reckon yeah just 30 thou off and prolly just a oem or thin gasket see what happens.. but if i go back to factory timing i shouldbe alright for clearence?
