The top picture is after I cut my cylinder head to my 49mm bore, the bottom picture is before I cut the cylinder head for my 49mm bore. Bottom picture is as it was sold/stock for a 47mm bore.
Picture 1: Piston at tdc with gasket
2: Bottom of the head, you can see where it seals
3: How the gasket goes
4. You can see that it's raised up
5: Piston at tdc without gasket
6: Measurement of the head
7: Measurement of the gasket.
That 41.41mm measurement on your hi-compression head needs to be increased to at least 47mm or the cylinder bore diameter. That's where your running into problems.
