Head gasket recommendations for magnum

If the Piston is 49 in the hole, and you need at least 40 to the valve, you got no quench and be prone to ping. If you have the time and resources, I would be getting a valve pocket cutter and making room for those valves. You will need to find out just exactly how much room do you need and see if those pistons can take that deep of a cut. Otherwise I'd be looking at different pistons. In an ideal world you would have zero deck, ample valve relief, and 40 thousandths head gasket.

I’ll look into doing that. Can’t remember the brand of piston but hopefully it’s marked on top of the piston or something.

540sd is .054 compressed ime.

It's a fine gasket for 11.1 or lower

Sounds like you need to fly cut the pistons for valve clearance, buy pistons.

I wanna try to avoid that but if I have to I will or mane change the heads.
