SCE head gasket opinion

[mderoy340]

Has anyone used this .060 compressed gasket? I'm putting Indy LAX heads on my 340 with above deck pistons and need to find thicker gaskets.

I called SCE today and they don't have any in stock. Next production run is over a month from now.

All are .018-.022 except #7 at .025, I should of decked this block but I built this motor years ago with open chamber j heads. Going to closed chamber the tolerances have stacked up against me. I ordered a set of cometic .066 thick to maintain .040 clearance. Motor has forged eagle crank, sir rods, and speedpro L2316F pistons.
