NEEDED!!! ACTUAL measurements of MLS gaskets
NEEDED!!! ACTUAL measurements of MLS gaskets I'm getting all my stuff from the machine shop, and have 2 sets of the MLS gaskets.
I'm checking quench Saturday, and wanting to get some ACTUAL measurements of the MLS gaskets that have been compressed.
I've seen so many numbers thrown around, but none actually verified, just passed down numbers.
If I can't get any feedback and I have to, I'll put a set on, compress them, take heads back off, measure them, and go from there.
Thanks

How soon do you need them? I am pulling and tearing into my engine this weekend. It has .040 cometics and I'll measure the actual compressed thickness for you. The engine has been together for over a year.

.053 Yall were dead on the money!
I took a new set of MLS gaskets (5.7 liter not 6.0), put one on my block, torqued down a head on it, pulled the head right back off, put the mic on it,
.053!

diamond pistons I don't know the stock set-up, but my new set up is:
Stock length scat h-beam rods
Diamond forged pistons, -2 cc relief 3.905 diameter
Stock stroke crank
Stock block deck height
My piston height was a measured .004" out the top of the hole!
