Quench questions
What is the desired quench spec for a LS6?
If I understand correctly, quench is the distance
from the piston to the head surface (not into the chamber)
Is this correct?
I have a deck height of +.013 and a head Cometic gasket
that is .050...so the quench would be .037.
If I want to increase compression, and keep the quench
volume, I need to mill the heads rather than use a thinner
head gasket. What is considered a good quench range.
Is this correct?
Thanks!

Mill the heads for more compression.

.035-.045 this will promote an even burn and avoid detonation with the milled heads.
Mill the heads. Why you would pay for .050 cometics is beyond me when you could just run stockers and achieve the desired quench and save a pile. Unless you are running forced Ind.
Good luck, check p/v.

it was to get the desired 11.2 compression. (I thought the stockers
compressed to .060.)
Thanks!
