How thick is the head? 3.33" isn't the stock height & .030" isn't the standard compressed gasket thickness either.

As stated in my first post, the head height on my engine is approximately 3.28". The stock head height of 3.33" for the B20E is quoted from the 1971 140 factory service manual. In the same manual, compressed gasket thickness is shown as .028". I actually measured a removed gasket (Elring) at between .029 and .030.
