[QUOTE="jarance, post: 355880, member: 21"] Skimming is the option when the cylinder head is warped. Usually after skimming is performed, slightly thicker gasket can be ordered to compensate for the loss due to metal removal. If you dont have any overheating, you basically do not need to skimmed. Warping is caused not by overheating alone. It is caused by overheating and trying to add cold water when the engine is still very hot. Overheating might also cause your gasket to blow. How can the compression ratio be changing when the stroke and bore of your piston remained unchanged? However, like everything used, top overhaul will never get your engine to be as good as new.
