For head gasket thickness, figure .040 for a Fel-Pro and .045 for all other composite type gaskets.

... and .020 thick for the factory steel shim head gasket but those are not that easy to find these days.

d, i just got in 2 .020 shim gaskets, 1947578, 67+older and a 2843182, 68 and newer according to my parts books. other than the 1947578 being a greenish color metal and the pentastar is very detail stamped, they are identical. how much compression can they take? 12-1? will a felpro take more? or less? thanks, ron

I run an estimated 10 - 10.5 on my steel shims no Problems there I use the arp Head studs for added safety.
