can't you just fit a really thick metal gasket to raise the ratio again ?

1/16th of an inch is 0.0625" ... that is 62 and a half thousandths.
If he took that much off of the head (which is hard to believe for me), you may just have the record of how much a head was milled.

Yep, you can. But they only come in a couple of sizes. 3mm is the thickest I believe.

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
