For head gasket thickness, figure .040 for a Fel-Pro and .045 for all other composite type gaskets.

d, i just got in 2 .020 shim gaskets, 1947578, 67+older and a 2843182, 68 and newer according to my parts books. other than the 1947578 being a greenish color metal and the pentastar is very detail stamped, they are identical. how much compression can they take? 12-1? will a felpro take more? or less? thanks, ron
