How do you use standard 0.039 gaskets to get a quench from 0.035-45? Is this a matter of reducing the deck height to zero?

Yep. It would take a near zero deck to get that quenck with that gasket.

I used a .015 steel shim gasket to get .035 quench with my combo (.020 down the hole).

Marty,
What is your deck height?
GM makes a .028 thick composite gasket that may help too...

Haven't put a caliper on it, but it's never been decked or rebuilt - motor probably doesn't have 30k on it. Should be 9.025, right?
