does anyone have an old head gasket that they can measure the compressed thickness of it.also the diameter of the piston bore hole. im using felpro so if you have that even better!!im trying to figure out the compression of my motor and everyone is telling me that it should be 10:1 but when i entered all my numbers im coming up with 9.049:1.but the old head gasket was not an felpro that i took the measurement from and i dont have any other gasket laying around
anyone?
i got someone to measure the thickness and they said .060 but over on rps the said the compressed thickness should be around .030 so i dont know if the guy gave me a before measurement or what.if it is .03 or thicker than im going to have these heads shaved to make it really a 10:1 motor because even at .03 its only 9.7:1.i really want the higher compression for power and this 422 and later on the nos im putting on!!im in no rush so if you dont get around to it tonight man its no prob but thanks for looking also
