Angry I'm in the same boat!

I blew a head gasket on a 12 to 1 compression engine with crappy head gaskets designed for a stock compression engine! My engine builder tells me I need to lower this compression w/ new dished pistons, rings and all the assorted labour charges! The cylinder heads needed to be cut .008 thou and are now sitting at 61cc. Long story short, we need to come up with 14cc to bring this thing down to 9.5 to 1. The Cam is designed to work at 8.75 to 1 up to a max of 10 to 1. I'm really pissed seeing as this thing has been in dry dock since Aug 16th!! What to do now? Rod.
