Hi John
I think you got your statement reversed.
By removing the base gasket you reduce the deck height.
The taller the cylinder the greater the deck height.
Deck height equals cylinder height plus base gasket minus piston height.

BG+CH-PH=DH

This assume that piston height is meassured from case spigot.
