If you skim the block to match the stock piston height, you may be compromising your ability to use longer rods(well, you could use a thicker gasket) when you build the bottom end. Assuming you'll be going that route anyway. And, you'll be making it weaker, but that could only be a problem if you're boosting.

And I didn't know cometic made headgaskets for the b20s as well... When'd they start doing that? I thought that they didn't even make the b230/21/23 ones until Jonathan(stereophile33) contacted them to make them for R-Sportinternational.
