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.......

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

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:

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.
