Rather than CR it's quench you need to get right.
This should be under 0.035" and I didn't mention it as amazonjulian is at the assembly stage. It would need decking as work on the head doesn't really affect quench.
My car ended up with >12:1 CR and I get no det even after a hot run labouring up a hill( which suggests I can advance further).
On a separate matter what head gasket are you using? I have several Elring HG at 0.8mm thick, helps your quench calcs. I ordered too many and have one spare (£25)
