resurfacing your head and bowl work will change your compression. All depends on how much they shave off and what they do for bowl work. Opening up the chamber will lower CR, and shaving the head will raise it.

You wont get a bump in CR unless you get a thinner gasket, and the z6 and y8 are both the same thing, and wont raise your CR. you will need to find a thinner one somewhere.

not enough to make a difference (performance wise).
