Re: head gasket help
Steel shim heads gaskets are designed for use with good clean metal. Once they are crushed down from tightening the head bolts, they should never leak.
For some added protection, you can spray both sides of the head gaskets with something like copper spray. I use copper spray on my MLS gaskets.
Rough estimate for compression ratio is 10:1
