The block was not fresh bored. A low mile short block I am rebuilding. Bores super smooth with not enough cross hatch to break the rings in.

The bores were clean as a whistle when I put it together. Assembled it with STP as recommended in the krazykuda how to on this site. I was really hoping someone would say it would be ok! Dang, I dont know what to do!

Also should I get the MLS gaskets specifically for the Edelbrock heads since my Speedmaster heads are Edelbrock clones?Since it's together I broke out my new deck bridge and measured the pistons at a consistent. 020 down in the hole. In an effort to maximize my available compression I guess I'll get .027 thick Cometic gaskets but I don't know how to choose the bore size of the gasket. My brain says it should be as small as possible as long as it's bigger than the 4.030 block bore size. Is that correct?

I got my rear sealed 2 months ago...Cley,Did u get a rear seal? Kim
I would think u got it penitrated, not sealed. Unless HE sealed it with a kiss. KimI got my rear sealed 2 months ago...
My doctor does it with her finger once a year...
i don't think this is a max effort drag car that needs every last point of compression. i don't think a .039 gasket will be any slower then a .027 gasket. there will be zero performance difference between the two.
