I know I am unlikely to get an awnser out of this, but I figured it is worth a shot. Does anybody know the thickness and material of the base gasket and the head gasket? Also does anybody know the clearance between the valves and the pistons (ie how much can I shave off of the top of the jug before I have a probblem)? I have dirt cheap access to a engine tunning shop, so since the winter months are coming I am planning on getting three angle valve seats, higher compression, (run on 93 octane gas) play with cam and ignition timing, remove casting flaws from intake port, and polish exhaust port. I will keep this thread posted on how the molding is going, thanks in advance if you know the tolerances.

The gaskets are metal cruch gaskets and less than a thousandth of an inch thick.
