these motors' deck surfaces should always be flycut squared to the crank centerline and case seam.......always. It's not tedious with the right equipment. fly cutting "from the hip" is not good. Same goes for the heads(except to the cams journals)
Do not gamble....measure the compression height of those pistons and calculate your CR properly.
One should not use a shim on the head gasket to obtain proper deck clearances on the pistons. Not that it can't work, it's just not the right way to be doing this on such a motor. Proper way to do it is to flycut the pistons to achieve the right clearance.
CC chamber, measure CH and DH, calculate requires specs(CR, piston height, etc, etc). Machine/correct CR as needed and rebalance.
Just my thoughs in a nutshell over dinner here
