well guys i justed ordered some 41" HEAD gaskets and im was woundering if this will work with a gt2-5 222/222/ 566 566. I know i could do the whole clay thing but im trying to save time. Also will a 7.400 push rod work.

 

I am going to use the same cam and was thinking about milling the heads slightly to get more compression so I am wondering the same thing. Mine is a 5.3

I believe that's an .041" gasket...a 41" thick gasket might drop compression just a tad

You will have no problems with the valves touching the pistons until you get to the ~.610" lift range with that gasket....

 

thanks sorry about that

 

Yelo is right i have 216/220 witch is 525/532 with 1.85 rockers that gives me around 579 lift and when i did the clay i still had 110 ths till valve hit piston and that is with soild roller lifters

 

Should work, I'm running a TR230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA w/ a .040" Cometic head gasket.

 

what kind of compression changes are seen with either slight milling or going with the thinker gasket? Is this worth the changes from a performance stand point?

what cr will these gaskets give me. also what pushrod lenth do i need with that cam
