Phil, you say:

"Shaving the head raises CR, but does nothing to change the clearance. We do that last after committing to a known deck height and gasket thickness."

Which is what I hear other people saying too when discussing squish/quench. If you shave the head, does that not bring the top of the head down closer to the top of the piston? How is that different from shaving the deck which does the same thing? In my mind anyway. I see it as shaving the deck makes the pistons stick up more towards the head compared to shaving the head which brings the head down to the pistons. Which is also what is supposedly good... But all in all, the head and pistons will be in the same place considering they were both shaved the same amount... Care to enlighten me? =D I wanna know!
