Kyle, I mean shaving down the top of the block, not just flattening it. Same effect exactly as using a thin head gasket, except you control how tight the piston-to-head clearance becomes.

I would not recommend this as being worth the expense unless you were rebuilding the block. (And I'm not going to give any specific numbers, or people will be mad at me when their pistons run into the head...)

*^)
