Im just saying it is doable, for a (band-aid) fix.<br />Keeping the stock bottom end puts a limit on options, if u notch the pistons u will loose the integrity of the piston crown and loose some compression. Plus u always risk getting debris into the motor itself and personally that risk is not worth taking. AFR heads are ideal with the wedge chambers, but that depends on ur budget. <br />Depending on how much piston to valve clearance u need, there is always the custom set of head gaskets made going as much as .060" thick with SLE or Cometics.
