Guess what .......................Engine out again
ok theres a few ways to determine the correct compression on the engine but 2 of them involve tools that are quite expensive so the easy way is knowing that your block is stock ......... then when you have any work done to it Machine shop should/will tell you how much has been taken off Heads/Block the manufactures have Set gaskets at different thickness's lets say 1mm is stock ... then it will go by 1.2 1.4 1.6 so on so no machined heads u will use Stock gasket ... if the machine shop as taken 0.1mm from head u have to use 1.2mm gasket problem u all so get is u are decreasing the compression ratio a little ... so the best is to get a Close'st match as Poss if your Heads/engine is unknown then u have to have the Volume/compression ratio tested Machine shop will have those spacial tools to work that out

Guess what .......................Engine out again
the Main block was checked me and the machine shop .. and all was level and clean so there was no need for decking ... but the heads did get skimmed and this all ready had to go to the next thickest gasket if i had the block decked just for the sake of it means i would all so have to get the 3rd thickest gasket and this then starts to rely more on that to have the compression at the correct ratio
