Why is it necessary to get a .020" over HG?

Wouldn't raise the C/R that much, which is a good thing even if it did, right?

becuaes i dont want my valves hitting my pistons since they are that much closer with my block being shaved .005 and my head being shaved .009. with a .020 head gasket , it will put me basically back to stock highth.
