I just went through this with US spec pistons. It sounds like you are measuring .012 deck height without a base shim and head gasket. That is what I measured as well. You say that a .047 shim will give you .060 deck height! Are you not planning on using the head gasket? The head gasket measures .029 uncrushed, and should add at least .025 to the deck once installed. So, the .010 shim supplied with the gasket kit will set the deck height to .047. Add or subtract from there as desired. My heads are torqued, but it is not too late for me to go back and make corrections in case my understanding is flawed. Anybody?
