[yoh!!!]

O.K. ordered my shims at FAT Performance Parts today... They sold me 0.045 wich is almost exactly what I needed according to the calculation. According to FAT the shims should arrive in Austin TX before this weekend, which means that I most likely will finish my engine this weekend... Yeh!!!
I should end up with a CR of 8.05:1 and a deck height of something like 0.056. Will see how this works...
... and we will see what my actual compression reading will be.
185 psi seems a lot, even 107 is not all that horrible if it is 107 on all four cylinders. I also remember that 150 PSI is typically what a new or well rebuild engine should have afer it is broken in.

Thanks for all your help...
