Slant Six Forum :: Oversized head gasket

Quote:

yes evidently there is no oversized gasket avail here in the states.

The felpro and Victor Reinz are 3.5 bore size...considering that the stock slant is a 3.4" bore that will get you through all the overbores a street motor needs (20,30,40,60,80...and the long rods at .45), the only reason to go past that is for maximum performance...with an over bore past .100 you have to pick and check your blocks and other prep has to occur that may not be so street friendly.

Any reason you'd need that kind of over bore in a truck?

How big do you need? ACL was making a gasket that was 3.54" or so. Aussie Permaseal (now called Endurotec) is the 3.66" one. Lou

Any reason you'd need that kind of over bore in a truck? No I am good with the only reason I was asking is cause it was mentioned to me on another forum that I should get an oversized gasket. I think the poster was confused a bit but its all good.
