Cometic Head Gaskets $139.99

[pocket-rocket]

I need to clear up what I meant by "the bore match the cylinder". What I meant was have the block bored out to be closer to the bore size of the stock head gaskets. I know that is way past safe, but if it were able to work (don't worry, I have absolutely no plans on ruining a block to try it) it would give a good size boost.

Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want the fire ring the same bore as your cylinders?

i would not recommend same gasket as bore size, but really tight is good all around.

Correct, i have tables for stock pistons on the product pages

unlike the stock head gaskets that are .130" larger than the stock bore.

That would be a nice displacement boost if you had the bore match the cylinder... So in theory, these gaskets would slightly increase compression as well (unless you got thicker ones), correct?

[SappySE107]

You should get them .020" larger than default. I have them at .020" larger than the stock bore, unlike the stock head gaskets that are .130" larger than the stock bore.

If I'm getting my block bored 20 over for forged pistons will the "standard size" gasket still fit? or do i need to get the +.020" bore size gasket. The only reason I ask is typically gaskets are usually a bit bigger than the actual bore size. Any suggestions?

[gectek]

well still. i know its not us dollar x2...

Let me know if that listing and the linked article are good. I am going to work on a table for the compression/thickness. The bore doesn't do a heck of a lot to the compression. Any feedback is appreciated.

im a moron. HAR

The update has links to each listing. I didn't put them all in the recent products at the bottom.
