you can get a custom head gasket for this setup from cometic. i doubt you'll have any sleeve left if you need to rebuild the motor when you blow your head gasket

Who car about head gasket. Just weld the head and the block together.

Yeah getting the parts for the 87mm is obviously not the issue--the issue is that the HG will have trouble holding more than 2-3 full tilt runs.
