I have .091 off the block as well.
So I hope around 10.75.
Steel shim gasket.
That other head should have been at least 12 something, but that is another story.
Man I appreciate all you guys following along.

I just ran it again with water and I don't see any mixing.
I let it get to 200 deg. or so.

So tonight I will change the filter, run the valves, install new sparking plugs.

I never moved the dist during the head replacement.
I was pretty sure it would light off right away.
I did something right for a change.
 
Damn Lawyers.

Unfortunately, the seat belt rules have become a racket and costs the racers. There should be away to re certify the belts like was done years back, but that doesn't make the manufacturers enough money.
 
I looked up re-certs, after shipping it just was not worth the wait.
These cost me about 10 bucks over the re-cert price.
Xtreme and MOKAN don't look at them.
Deb is happy now.

The two independent tracks up here in Maine will let belts go for 5 years if they are in good shape with no visible signs of damage.
