Deck is square decked. I was gonna use the Fel Pro 8553 that r .053 compressed for .038 clearance but then that really isn’t quench. It was recommended to 0 deck the pistons and use the 1008 gaskets that are .039 compressed as they are a better gasket. Kim

Quench is the distance between the flat part of the piston and the flat part of the head.
so yes .038 is thirty eight thousandths Quench as well as 0 decking and piston and different head gasket is.039
