Re: Who makes thicker head Gasket!
The1074 is not a round bore gasket....it is slightly "D" shaped.
Not sure of the other ones.
I would closely compare the volume of the gasket, not the thickness, if you are trying to correct compression.

Re: Who makes thicker head Gasket!
No, I'm not trying to correct for compression, just figure it out as close as possible with the exsisting non-cometic gaskets. If the bore of the gasket is 4.125, and the bore of the cylinder is 4.030 then there is a bit of area left (shrouded by cyl head and block as it may be), is still area to be considered for figuring out static compression.
