not doing this your combustion chamber will be smaller. this will require the use of higher octane fuel..
they the cutters and you must comunicate so that you can get the gasket for what ever they plan to cut.

I mentioned that to the guy at the shop, he ensured me that there will be so little taken off it will not affect the compression ratio and nothing special would be required. Maybe he told me resurface the heads. Is there a differance between shaving and resurfacing?
Also, my parts list includes...
- Felpro complete head gasket kit
- Head bolts
- Heater Core (old one is leaking)
and intake/exhuast valves if needed.
