I've just been through this issue while having the bottom of my motor rebuilt. My block had previously been bored out to the max (0.125") and decked quite severely. It had compression of 80 +/- 2 psi all round. The rebuilder said that the pistons were coming out of the block at the top of their stroke and fouling the (standard bore) head gasket. His solution was to take a chamfer off the top edge of the pistons.

Haven't re-installed it in the car yet.
