Re: Head gasket bore size (Sliding)
I would go for the smallest diameter that doesn't over hang the edge of the bore. .7 cc will have little effect on the CR. I would be more concerned with keeping the crevice volume to a minimum.

I found a set of .029 composite heads gaskets here

if you want a little more compression without buying copper gaskets.

Re: Head gasket bore size (ld85)
:eek: I just put a set of Felpro 1010s on my car. I didn't realize that the bore size was 4.166". If I had known about the 1043 with a 4.080" bore size, I would have used them!
I haven't fired the car up yet, but I hope that the 4.166" bore won't be a problem on my car.

Here's another Try COMETIC
http://www.cometic.com/home/home.htm
I called them for my 406, they have a 4.160 bore .025 gasket, composite, that does not need re-tightening. Problem, is they want $72 per gasket
