Don't these units run at .030 from the factory with a .020 gasket?

I'd like to see how this works out for you if you dont mind sharing here.
I have a stock 462 that impresses the heck out of me but have been considering a BGD. Once my other one gets back from Randy I'll start to tinker with the stock one.

Ed it sounds like the majority will interfere, the op has one with excessive squish from the start! I am guessing the base gasket is .015 like the 661. Stihl’s factory squish can be all over the board, I have a stock 660 that has .019 squish with gasket, also have an odd ms260 that had excessive squish and I could do a base gasket delete, the ms260 is not supposed to be able to bgd either. Ms 461 I have seen about.007 difference in several jugs and 660 have seen .016 different between different factory jugs.
So always measure! Lol

Saw has a lot of carbon build up for suposedly being a low hour machine. Supposed to have had around five tanks through it. I'm second owner and I've put about two tanks through it running stihl ultra doing some clearing work.

.018 is my max tight on the cc class if your properly measured the squish, not a knock, you need to roll the motor multiple times and measure at the wrist pin it looks like you checked above the exhaust? If you decarbon everything it will change too

Ya do that, the piston rocks when you check above the exhaust or intake and give a false reading, I had a 461 the would turn over with a base gasket delete because of carbon build up, de-carbon the chamber and .016 squish, sanded out .002 from the chamber with an old piston and stick on sandpaper
