cometic head gaskets have you tried them.........
 

I pulled my heads and only have .005 clearance valve to piston. I'm thinking about going from a .039 head gasket to a .080 Cometic. I like everything I've heard so far just making sure none of you have any horror stories with these gaskets.......

I've been using them for about 5 years on Harley engines and they work great. Haven't had a problem yet. I would recommend them.

I use them, they have been reused 3 times now also :D

Interesting... i have a motor that needs more clearance also.... but are you sure there is a .080" head gasket? I looked on there web page and did not see anything offered but .040.

Thanks, keith

I called today they can make up to .140 thick, custom.

Excellent gaskets. The reason you can get so many thicknesses, is that they keep stacking layers until it arrives at the thickness you want.

Not for use with O ringed block.

How much are the .080 going to cost?

Gaskets
 

I tried cometics after having problems with gaskets leaking. Never had a problem with a head gasket after that. They are expensive, but well worth the money in my opinion. Still have the copper gaskets hanging in the garage. :idea:

$119.95 each

Does anyone think there is a issue with the intake sealing or alligning when using a .080 gasket? Do they suggest a thicker intake gaskets?
In my case the deck surface is not cut down, my stroke and piston come .010 out of the hole.....i know.... it was all stuff that i had layin around.

Dparker i appologize im not trying to take your thread, just use it to grow more knowledge upon :?
