351w head gasket size help!

[nitrouspete]

so im just talking about the bore size.....

my 351w has been punched .030 over. should i order a 4.030 headgasket or a 4.060. ive been told that the gasket will flaten out some once compressed and that you do not want the gasket sticking out inside the cylinder to be burned.

BTW i will be using MLS head gaskets and studs. anyone have a brand they have had a problem with or are all MLS good?


thank you in advance.

Order the 1134 Felpro. Its a 4.100 gasket which will work fine and they are only like $70 a piece.

We keep the ford racing gaskets (fel pros non skin carded) way cheaper then buying the 2 individuals a bunch cheaper also.
