Does anyone know what the stock gasket thickness is on an 05 LQ4?

Does anyone know what the Stock piston to head clearence is?

How thin of a gasket can you go with a stock rotating assembly keeping it under 6000 RPM?

wanting to get a thinner gasket or mill the head or combo of both to get about 9.8 - 10 : 1 comp.

 

Stock gasket is .051, not sure what size gaskets is avail from cometic, but I have a .020 and am right about 9.8-1...

 

doesn't the piston stick up .008 above the deck? or is that not a LQ4?

Does your piston kiss the head?

 

As I recall I didn't think that it did but not 100%

 

anyone else?

 

hello, is anyone out there?

 

I think the piston sticks up .007 out of the hole. .020 is a thin head gasket IMO, but since the LQ4 has that wide dish, it would benefit the quench with the thinner gasket.

 

Really need to measure deck height to be sure. it CAN very from block to block...

 

Anyone have any thoughts?
