I'm guessing you were referring to the measurements for the stock pistons?

For the OEM calcs, I used 84mm bore.
I measured used gaskets that had already been compressed, and found them to be 0.030" thick. I have a new gasket at the shop I could measure for reference as well. (I'm amazed how much "new" stuff I still have)
Were you measuring the head with the spark plug installed?
