Yeah, mine is too.

The heads are aluminum. That's the reason I mentioned putting thinner gaskets in....I was going to try to bump the DCR up a little bit to help combustion pressures.

But some of the other guys on the FE forum were running 8.01 DCR on some pretty healthy engines....so I may save myself some trouble and money and just run the gaskets I have.

If everything measures out and matches my numbers that I've been fooling around with.... 8.16 DCR should be fine.
