how much thicker are you looking for? i think the je proseal gaskets are .033"a bit thicker than oem. i guess you could always disassemble a cometic and take out the middle layer and use it with oem top and bottom layer so long as the bores match.....

My gsr head has .022" shaved off. Was just trying to get it back as close as I can. Head/ITR cams will be used on a ITR bottomend end. Just trying to make sure I have sufficient piston to head and valve to piston clearance.
Cometic gaskets crimp ring is definitely smaller than oem crimp ring. Also a reason to source another company.
