stock head gasket with .20 overbore?
As you guys know, I have a set of Je pistons and had my sleeves overbored .20 over. Will I have to modify the stock headgasket or can I just slap it on? What I mean is that will I have to cut the the openings in the gasket bigger? I don't want to even **** with the head gasket as I' scared I might **** something up that's more serious. Help me out here fellas...TIA

You will be just fine..20 over just enough to make sure your cylinders are round and clean up anything from your old pistons.

Like he said, you can just use the stock head gasket. When dealers rebuild a motor, they bore it .020 over to clean it out and that is the standard bore and within factory specs. So you will be fine with the stock head gasket.
