New to the site, don't flame me too hard if this has been covered, but I've searched here and on Gemini forums to no avail. My question is: Does anyone know what the compression ratio is when the head is shaved 0.010"? Or 0.020"? I bought a '77 with a blown head gasket, so figured I'd throw a little cash at the head while it's off. And since everyone loves pics, here it is the day I bought it. Little bit of rust, as per usual, but solid little daily it'll be. Thanks in advance for the help.

Got it shaved 0.010", machinist said it maybe would bump it from 8.5 to 8.7 so probably don't need to worry about it pinging.
