Tight Squish is an internet myth 140-160

Bill Jenkins book is great. Long out of print but you can find it on Amazon or eBay.

Every virgin block that I've seen has the pistons .015-.018 below the deck.

I don't think the question is if tight squish helps but rather how much. For the cost of a heavy clean up cut on the block and a $20 Elring .032 thick gasket it just seems the to do.
