[QUOTE="cantbuytime, post: 1025685, member: 12590"] What heads are you using? You can get them to assemble the block and check the piston to deck.. Then have them mill the deck to get it close to zero.. I like to stay within .003 to .004 from being flush. Helps if you ever have to mill the deck, then there is still meat to do it. You will need a dome piston to get over 10:1 with 64cc heads.. Or zero deck the block, run .020 thick headgaskets with flat tops and you will likely still be at a 9 something compression. It will probably need dome pistons.. Anything over 10:1 is not necessary if your going to run alot of boost. Motor would probably live longer with a lower compression. [/QUOTE]
