" I don't know if it would harm the block, but lopping off that .080 so

" the 0.40 squish shoudl be enough to cover heat, stretch and piston 
" rocking. THEN the close six head would be nice.

a few years ago, my friend the engine builder took apart a sbc race
motor he'd freshened up a few times and found signs the pistons had
been touching the heads.

this was routine maintenance; there were no signs of trouble.  but the
engine had been turning 6500-7000 all season...  he measured squish at
.018".
