Don't worry about what the gasket thickness is unless you already know what the Deck height is for the combo you are going to run.

Cometic sells thinner head gaskets..and thicker gaskets also if you order them custom.

So what is your deck height now..?....and don't say stock.. :P

Oh stop it, I just want to make sure that you don't end up with a squish height that is too close and kill the engine because your higher compression engine will not allow the rod and pistons enough clearance..

Let us know..
 :yes:
