Default Does anyone know what Cometic .040 head gasket to use with the Dart 205cc heads?

Does anyone know what Cometic .040 head gasket to use with the Dart 205cc heads? Dart says use a 4.100 bore. The cometics come in 4.060 or 4.160 as far as I can tell. Which one should I use?

Thanks.

The combustion chamber is 3.970 at the widest point on the Dart heads. The fire ring will be inside the combustion chamber which will cause sealing problems.

I posted this in another thread...

After calling Dart, and not getting much help, I called Cometic, and they specified one they make that is for a 4" bore. Part # H1295040S but keep in mind that is for a .040 gasket thickness. I layed a set of Cometics for a 3.901 bore on my Dart heads and they do overlap the chambers. I don't know if it matters any, but my heads have also been milled to 59cc's.

The only thing I could get out of Dart is that gaskets for a stock bore will not work correctly on Dart heads. I even layed down a set of GM MLS gaskets on my Dart heads, and even they overlap the chambers.

Then use a gasket that is .030>.060 more than the biggest bore you have (whether block or heads)

If Dart are 3.970 so 4.00 or 4.030 will work

Why not use GM 6.0 MLS? they will work as well.

There ya go: From TR

119-H1295SP5040S Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket, LS1 Engine, .040 thickness, 4.030 bore (sold individually) $84.99

I have seen people make pig power with factory GM 6.0 MLS gaskets, they will have a perfect 4.0 bore.
