    Default stock head gasket

    Anybody know what the stock thickness is on the head gasket. I'm trying to figure out my compression ratio. I've had .010 off the heads and .007 on the block deck. I think stock gasket is .058. The gaskets I have now are .058 they came with my gasket kit. I'm wanting to get 11:1 or better, but I'm pretty sure I won't get it with theses gaskets. I don't know if I can get close to that or not with thinner gaskets.

    What motor do you have?

    You will need to know combustion chamber volume as well to determine your compression.

    I figured about 1.3-1.4 cc's have been removed off the heads, and with the heads and block together there's almost 3cc's gone.
