You can't
Most racers are .100 over, some have been .130 over. At least one (In my son's garage) is 3.592" or .192 over! That is on the edge of disaster in my opinion.

Wait.... What size bore have you got, and where did you get pistons? |

Wiseco Pistons I believe it's been bored to around 232 going to put bigger valves need a little more clearance on the edge of combustion Chambers to get the right CC. |

This is no problem. The Aussie-made "Endurotec" gasket is excellent up to around 12:1 and is 3.66 bore and 0.046" or so compressed. You can order them from https://www.precisionintl.com/ and the shipping is not too bad. Best to order a spare or two also. Best, Lou |

I didn't know you could bore a slant out that far. |

The gasket is bigger than the bore by quite a bit. This is nice if you want to add bore notches for more smooth flow from the head chamber to the bore. I do this on my motors, making sure I don't grind down into where the top rings are sweeping. Biggest motor I have built is 3.504" and I use the Aussie 3.66" on everything. I bet you can get it cheaper than $80 shipped from Australia (precisionintl....). Lou |

Factory stock rocker arms are fine.

I have 3 of these on the shelf. Too bad you're so far away, but I can ship it and it will be less than international shipping.
