High comp engine head gasket

[smokeybone]

Just woundering what head gasket people use with there high comp engines? The chap thats building my head said that a standard gasket wouldnt be up the the job and he is going to need to do a squish test or something? Just looking for ideas where to look

stock is just fine

 

[smokeybone]

Thanks for quick reply, so there is no chance of the dome of the pistons touching the head?

 

[Dan519]

not unless the block has been skimmed by a fair amount

 

[Fred@BTM]

or he sets the cam timing wrong, what bore are you using?

 

[smokeybone]

Its standard bore and the head is having a light reface just to make sure its true. The guys concerne was the ammount the pistons stick out of the block, I have never built a high comp engine before so im just going off his word

 

[Fred@BTM]

careful when tensioning the cambelt, sounds like the guy doesn't know his limits!

 

[smokeybone]

What are you saying?

 

[Fred@BTM]

if the head and block is skimmed you might be needing one of these
