What is the stock head gasket thickness?
I can't decide on which gaskets to get. I know about the 1074 which is .039 thickness. I don't know yet if my heads will be milled any or not. Whats the stock compressed thickness and how thin can you go really? Plus i've seen a few gaskets described as for iron to aluminum heads. WHAT do I buy?
