Hi Craig,
I think that might give you a good rough estimate but I don't think
it would be super exact. What if there had been combustion chamber work
done? I have been told that there are some roadster racers out there that
make the thicker copper head gaskets. I'll have to track them down.

$Hi Daniel,
$
$wouldn't it work to just take what it's supposed to be... 4.52 maybe?
$measure what you have, subtract from that 4.52, and get a spacer headgasket
$that height or just a bit more to drop you to the 8.1? I think someone has
$the spacers in copper at .020 and .030 if memory serves me (getting
iffy...)
$
$good luck,
$Craig
