cylinder head skimming question

[Martin_172]

if i was to get my cylinder head skimmed down a bit so the engine ran a higher compression what sort of gains would i be looking at? and what about reliability?

keeping in mind the engine would be getting stripped down for a head gasket change anyway.

zero gain in itself.

just skim for flatness.
