I went with a Cometic 4.205 bore .045 thick head gasket for my 4.165 bore RHS block. Most of the time I prefer to stick with GMPP when possible, but I couldn't find one for my bore size. I know Cometic had some issues in the past, but I've been told that they are working well now, so I'm optimistic.

Talked with Cometic today they said they will make any size gasket i want same cost as shelf gaskets just takes a few days so the question is what size should i get 4.155" and also i was planning on .051 thick should i do .040 that would take my comp. up to around 9.6* VS 9.4* will that matter much with twins?

If that's the 5th gen I think you're talking about he had meth injection as well. I think he is also about to rebuild the motor again unfortunately.

I got the details from the builder today and used the chart to figure out the Comp ratio 4.155 gaskets 0.040 are 9.85-1 and .051's are 9.64-1 builder said no worries on PTV clearance with the cam i'm using!
