==How to arrive at the target quench figure== One way to arrive at a ~0.040" quench distance is to cut the block decks to zero piston deck height and to use a head gasket that compresses to around 0.040". This allows a quench (or squish, or "squench") measurement of 0.040". While that is a straight forward way to go about it, there are other ways: Use a thinner head gasket and cut the deck only enough to get a flat surface with the correct finish for the head gasket to seal against. By doing it that way, more deck thickness is maintained, resulting in a potentially better head gasket seal due to the deck being thicker.
