was going to get 5 thou taken off the top and them pocketed.

that should lower the comp when combined with the 1.42mm headgasket and the pockets should let the bd14 do its thing,

thats right aint it???

What comp ratio would you end up with by machining 5 thou off and having them pocketed ....???
