Wouldn't the quench effect be virtually the same either way? The piston is still down in the hole .0205". The only difference is you are taking more off of the head which is made up by the thicker head gasket. So the combustion chamber of the head would still be the same distance away from the piston. Am I missing something here?

What is the ideal quench height? I am curious how far off I would be at .047"?

Can anyone confirm that they have reused Cometic MLS head gaskets without any problems? I am a little scared to do that.
