Using oversize bore headgasket?!?!
Ok I have an 81mm bore block and apparently ive been running an 82.55mm headgasket (copper).
So is it normal to run a HG thats larger than your actual bore?? I need to find a new copper HG and i cant find any 81mm bore but the previous kind i used was 82.55mm bore and im wondering if i should just use that or if thats why the gasket blew so soon....
Can I use an overbore headgasket, if so what the highest overbore i could go? I want to use an SCE Pro Titan Copper but its like 84mm or larger...
