Felpro Head Gasket Compressed Thickness

Post by 76124 »

Does anyone have the compressed thickness of the Felpro brand head gaskets? I have in my notes .058, but that is undocumented, so I'd like to be certain. I could not find anything on the Felpro site. :twisted:

Thanks

Yep, confirmed 0.055" as measured on fire ring between cylinders, measured between each cylinder and got the same answer.
