if the heigh is SHORTER (ie more space in combustion chamber) you SHOULD be able to get away with driving the car for a while

if the new ones are talled (ie less space in combustion chamber=higher CR) then it isnt advisable to drive the car i this state, DEFFINALTELY dont drive it at full chat/boost as it WILL det
thanks Jim much appreciated,

sorry to be sounding stupid, but can you briefly explain where to measure

is the deck height, the depth of the cylinder head ?
