I plan to pull the heads on my 88 5.7L. They are original and need to be rebuilt. The valve seals are leaking.
Rather than milling 0.10" off the heads to bump compression, I was thinking about using a thinner head gasket. The OEM replacement is 0.41" compressed. FelPro has a 0.25" gasket.
Anyone tried this change? Had issues with quench, piston to valve clearance, push rod angle?
TIA
