Some of the engines That have done well in Enginemasters competition Seem to gain a bit By combining the Crevice volume of the head gasket With the crevice volume above the top ring Reducing total crevice volume Usually results in Less unburned fuel More power, better fuel economy

All the newer motors from OEs are getting pretty thin up there they are doing it for the reasons you mentioned. They are also mostly useing hypereutechtic pistons to reduce piston expansion so they can run tighter clearance above the top ring and therby reduce cold start emmisions. Some makers are putting piston number stamps on the bottom of the piston instead of the top to further reduce crevace volume so I would say it is pretty important. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
