Need head gaskets (Lem?) Empty Need head gaskets (Lem?)

Post  hpwdboss1 March 4th 2011, 5:19 pm

For some (right now unimportant) reason I find my new bottom end has the pistons up .005" out of the bore. Embarassed I have a 4.420 bore, a real comp ratio of 15.4 if the piston were flush and wishing a quench of at least .040, I need a different set of gaskets. Running racing gas and turning 6K. What do I want and where do I get them?
Thanks in advance...

Go with the Cometic stuff if you need more piston to head clearance.

Can Cometic gaskets be reused on a different block IF the block surface meets spec.(smooth)?

If the gaskets are in like new condition i'd think they'd work.

I have reused them with no issues, as stated make sure they are intact, I give um a cleaning and put a thin layer of coppercote..although its prolly not needed.
