Squish: For a street engine you'll want .040 to .045 squish (with head-gasket one).

Are you sure you have the right pistons for the crankshaft compression height?

How about posting a picture of the block/deck with a piston at TDC and also a picture of the chambers on the heads. You definitely don't want to have that amount of clearance over the pistons - so let's figure out what is wrong before you do anything. Also, how did you measure the squish?
