What thickness Head gaskets do I need? Found a deal on some 0.51 gaskets. I have a stock 347 with 6.0L heads that have been cleaned up with a .0015 mill job. Need to get around 9.5 compression. Let me know I'm going with the APS twin Kit. Thanks Jordan
I would check and see how far "out the hole" the pistons are and then figure out what thickness you need to get your desired C/R and squish. I used this it's pretty close http://www.c5frc.com/calculators/Com...Calculator.htm
or this one ( it's a little more accurate because it takes "negative" deck height into consideration or "out of the hole" which ever you prefer) http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/compstaticcalc.html
