was common practice to mill (machine) the head when head gasket was replaced or when
engine was rebuilt
at 60 over yours was probably rebuilt many times over the years
my 48 had two head gaskets to reduce the compression because a new head was not available when it was last rebuilt (50+k back). I got a new head (and gasket) from VPW
someone might have the spec's for the orig
volume of the chamber and then you could check what your head is now - just a thought
