Head gasket

Thanks Jason and Garm,this is the exact information i was looking. I figured that finally we may have to use two stock head gaskets but i didnt know that i can deck the head and still use the stock head gasket.
We learn something new everyday!

Many thanks!

I don't know what the limit is (I cant give you the specific number) but we had our engine guy deck it just for the purpose of a compression increase, so we took a good bit off. Just cleaning up after an overheat should be a minimal repair.

If his is to far gone I have a spare head, less than 1500 miles all stock and complete, (just wanted a spare when we were doing R&D with the early cams, but never used it).
