That was a concern with my block since after the machine work was done my pistons would stick out of the deck 0.015". So, I ended up just getting an oversized cometic head gasket, 0.040" thick compared to 0.027" stock.

So, as long as there isn't too much piston to cylinder clearance I should be good.
