Shouldnt hit the gasket unless the block was decked... The piston from the factory is supposed to stop even with deck. So you shouldnt have a problem. Now if the piston height is a lot taller you might have a problem but i doubt it. Putting an over sized head gasket in there might cause the head to lift when in boost. IMO you should just put it together as is. If you still question it... turn the motor to tdc and see if the piston comes highier then the cylinder wall. If it does youll have bigger problems. Youd have to measure each cumbustion chamber to ensure they are all the same in volume. After that youll have to try and calculate what your new combustion ratio is. Good Luck

is it possible a shop can set my rings so that if i push a certain amount of boost that theyll blow? someone told me the shop i go to likes to make them really tight so i dont get smoke.. my tuner said he talked to the shop and the guys at the shop said something about not going to far past 16 psi.
im so angry right now.. wtf did i build my motor for if i cant pass 16 psi.

hmmm... ive never heard of that before. but they may have installed rings that can only take a certain amount of pressure/power...
about my question for the cylinder head bolt..
its a 12 point internal wrench bit, but i cannot seem to find out the specific size that it has to be. i think im just going to go to the dealer and have them tell me the size i need.
its something like this...
but im not sure on what size is supposed to be used

The tool is a 3 square M10 its similar to a torque but not exactly... Anyway you wanna get something really strong from SnapOn or Craftsman... You go cheap with the tool and it will strip and destroy the bolt, requiring an extractor... Also makes sure it is long enough to extend into the head... The bolts near the sprockets have very little clearance.
As far as your shop telling you how much boost they recommend... This can be a result of 2 things... Either the piston is not meant for turbo applications meaning the ring lands are set high ( for N/A apps) or they believe the fuel system will not supply enough fuel to keep up with the volume of air delivered by the turbo. Hope this helps

would a machine shop provide you with that when you get it blueprinted?
