just .030" over, bake and magnaflux… I decided against Oringing it because people have been making reliable power (700 rwhp!!!) on STOCK head gaskets, so with my metal one, i should be OK. I also had headwork done, the rotating assy was balanced, the crank was polished, it cam knife edged and radiused from nissan, a valve job, a new oil pump drive put on and some combustion chamber work. I don’t have a truck, so i havent been able to pick it up… and i still need to get shit painted…
