    do NOT run the motor with squish clearance that tight! You will have the top of the piston slapping into the bottom of the head and subsequently flattening needle bearings in both ends of the connecting rod and if you do.

    A base gasket is like .011, if I recall off the top of my head. Thats still like .026 which isn't nearly enough.

    sounds like a thick gasket or dome recess is in order.
