I probably wouldn't have even done a rebuild at all if I didn't have to pull it to do some major rust repair. I was happy with the B18- just want to wake it up a bit, and not inclined to do more machining than necessary.

I already have the cam kit from IPD- selected it based on conversations with a couple of old Volvo types that I respect.

Just looking for options to help tweak the compression ratio- I don't want it to fall too low with that cam. One suggestion was to use a very thin gasket used in the Penta marine B18s.
