Been there Done that.
My Spirit had a positive deck height spec of plus .004. It wasa just a number chrysler wrote down (they never built a motor to those specs) .
I had 139,000 miles on the car when I set the record at Maple Grove. They checked the deck and it was -.030 down the bore (34 thousanths short).
Curt Lasure. Threw me out. for having to little compression. After a long conversation. in which I explained it would be hard to build a motor to there specs because the head gaskets varied a couple of thousanths Usually being about .004 thicker than the specs.
So it would be almost impossible to build a positive deck motor and have it check legal.
He told me to set up the motor with a positive deck then use 2 head gaskets. Which I did and never had another problem with tech. I believe the new Hemis use a MLS gasket and you can stack them as thick as you want.
