Comp Ratio & Head gasket thickness

["Bradley Peet" <btpeet@effervescent.com>]

Does anyone out there know the TRUE compression ratio on the factory 2 liter
16V motor?  The "official" rating is 10:1 but I've heard that they tend to
run a little higher than that (according to people that have CC'ed the head
and measured the CR).

Also, does anyone know the installed/compressed thickness of a 2 liter 16V
headgasket?  I need to know this number for calculating compression ratio
with different gaskets and/or spacers.

Thanks.
