Which Head gaskets For new Cam PTV Just finished installing a new HPE Megadeath cam in my LS1. I also Have a set of ported 243s going on. I was just wondering which gasket thickness i can get away with. I want to get as close to 11:1 as i can without PTV issues. The heads cc'd at 63.5. Thats with .015 deccking and chambers cleaned up. Can i get away with a .041 or should i stick with the .052 or the .060. Any advice on how to check PTV will help.
Thanks

yeah you will have to flycut unless you use a real thick gasket.Use modeling clay also,not playdoe or any other clay.Look for a writeup on how to check ptv clearance using feeler gauges between the valve and rocker.Its more accurate.
