the intake cams on the Toda lifts to 13mm. 13mm is the maximum allowable before valve to piston contact at this compression. The thinner head gasket will basically guarantee beyond all doubt that you will go boom.

besides, if I go inside the motor, I plan to up the compression to 12 or 13, and you can do it using flat face valves and so you don't have to raise the crown..... I will also overbore and put in lightened and balance parts.... If I go inside....

makes sense

usually, when i need a tool i need it quick and last-minute. the trip to Sears is quick and easy. with SnapOn i have to get them through a dealer and that takes a few days. i'm not that patient.

Going through the same thing, although my part isn't as cool. I'm waiting on a Star Stage III Clutch.
