That is one of the more detailed threads you will find.
I’d order the lsvtec kit from Golden Eagle. It comes with the tap (to cut threads into the head) as well as the metal plug. As well as the stepped dowel pins. Their sandwich plate and oil line is great too.
I opted for an OEM head gasket though.
There are plenty of other kits out there, but I liked the GE setup.
As far as compression, there is a good calculator on the http://www.zealautowerks.com/bseries.html page.
All of their values are correct EXCEPT the head gasket thickness. Change the value from .026 to .03
That will give you a pretty good idea of what compression you’re looking at.
