Whats the thickest head gasket I can get for a stock 5 liter block? Compression and part numbers would help.

Thanks,

why would you want a thick one? Different materials would matter too then. Thinner makes better compression. If you get a thicker one, make sure it's of a good quality. Just wondering why you are wanting a thicker one.

ROL makes a .065" compressed gasket I believe. My cousin runs them on his KB'd 94GT since he is running AFR's with 58cc chambers. He got them from Ed C.

I'm worried about piston to valve clearance so I'd like to be on the safe side and get a larger head gasket.

Clay the pistons and fined out ecxactly what you have! - why forego the compression?
