RE: Raising CR with head gasket

["Chris Chemidlin" <spredhaus@hotmail.com>]

Oh, yeah... cause the cam and the crank will be closer to each other... 
I'm getting this now!  Well, other than an adjustable cam gear, can this 
be fixed?   Well it should keep *some* low end torque because I sticking 
with a stock camshaft (right?).

Wouldn't this actually retard teh timing?
