ive read around but my situation is a bit different with my high compression. My build is as follows

Block: 6bolt .020 over
Pistons: Mahle Motorsport 10.1-1 .0025 ptw yes I know very tight the Mahle run tighter then most suggest
Rods: eagle
Crank: polished stock

Head: 7bolt ported polished and competition valve job from Apex by bill
Valves: Stainless 1mm over polished valves
from engbldr
Lifters: 3g revised
Springs: bc1000
Cams: BC 272

Now with my high compression and tight piston to wall clearance should I run a thicker head gasket to be safe? also block is copper o ringed.
