they only offer 81mm or 82mm...i hav heard the stock bore can handle it...the piston dome doesnt go all the way to the houtside of the piston, allowing for some clearance...anyone?

I have also read many time that stock will suffice. Also i believe they were designed to be used with rebored OEM applications.

So if I were to go to 81.25mm CTR pistons in my B16A1 a Cometic 81mm head gasket should be used?
