Help with head gasket size selection. Can someone provide some insight to selecting the right head gasket size?
I've decided to go with AFR 205 heads milled to 64 cc. I want to go with Cometic head gaskets with a compressed thickness of .045". As I'm looking at places to buy these gaskets I notice the different bore sizes such as 3.910, 3.905 etc. all with the same thickness. Is it correct to assume that milling heads affect their bore size and that explains the differences?
Can someone point me in the right direction and tell me what bore size to get? By the way, the car is a 98, stock displacement.

you just want the stock bore size for the stock motor. milling the heads effect the compression and not the bore size just what thickness, when you go with the bore size its always based on the cyl bore, AFAIK
