Fel-Pro makes a steel shim head gasket with a very thin rubber coating for a 4.00-inch bore 350 that is only 0.015-inch thick. When added to your 0.020-inch deck height, this produces a 0.035-inch piston-to-head clearance. This is a little tight but should be fine for a mild street engine that does not see engine speeds beyond 6,500 rpm.

The good news is that this gasket will bump the static compression ratio up to 8.97:1 or essentially 9:1, which is worth roughly a half a point in compression

Victor makes an .026 mls head gasket that would put the quench at ,.046 , little safer....
