It's necessary to bore my 18V engine out to .060".  This has necessitated buying
8.7:1 pistons.  Now the problem (?) -- the head has been milled down to a
thickness of about 3.109".  Anybody care to venture an estimate of the
probability that I'd experience interference between the valves and pistons with
a standard head gasket installed?  TIA.
