Head Gasket Bore Size !!!
Hi guys...
Could some body care to explain the principle of choosing the bore size of a head gasket ?
I know that the thickness is to increase or decrease the CR
But the Bore !! for example lets say i have 4" bore block what gasket bore size should i use (4.000, 4.030. 4.060, 4.100 or 4.130 ) and why ? determine that this is the right size ?

Your combustion chamber should determine the size gasket used. You'll want to use the closest match for the bore the chamber was designed for. If you are running an L92 head for example, the larger bore that the chamber is designed around could leave a gasket for a regular 6.0L head exposed.
If I recall correctly, there are 4.065" gaskets out there now for that reason.
