In preparing for my short block build... Will Sealed Power H116CP pistons work with a 9.580 deck height using a stock crank?
Certain head gasket thickness needed?
I would like to stay on pump gas, premium be ok though.

I get .008” below deck.You’ll want a headgasket around .040” but we’ll need to know what heads you are using.

that would give about .048 squish , Id cut it down a bit with thinner head gaskets , maybe .030 with steel rods ...
