Their catalog lists a .040" gasket for the 289/302 and a .030" gasket for a 302/351 SVO, but they also make custom gaskets.------------------

hay moneymaker,ineed some info i put a post on AFM about C.R. you can see what i have in my motor at rons.mustangii.net its a long story i had water in my oil but come to find out it was the intake leaking, but during all that i tryed 2 headgaskets and thats whats on it now and running find but someone replyed and said this Originally posted byI have always heard the "rule of thumb" regarding compression ratio, was 10% horsepower increase (or decrease) per 1 full compression ratio point.. So if the extra head gasket is 40 thousands think, then we are talking about approx 0.50 cubic inches (4 inch bore (2 inch radius, squared = 4)* pi * 0.040 = 0.50), then going by the cubic inch to cubic centimeter conversion table on: http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/EASYvolume.html We can see that the approx amount of combustion chamber volume that the extra gasket added is about 8.2 cc. Assuming a 54 cc combustion chamber, the difference is about 15%. If you had 10:1 compression ration before, then you can say you had roughly 540 cc being squished down into 54 cc. So assuming the same 540 cc, now being squeezed into a 62.2 cc chamber, your compression ratio has dropped to about 8.7:1. Thats a 1.3 "point" drop and if the rule of thumb is correct, you lost about 13% of your horsepower. If you had 225 horsepower before, you are looking at 196 horsepower now.

They built me a pair of MLS (Multi-Layer Spring steel) gaskets for my motor, .030 compressed. That's as thin as they can make an MLS gasket, since it's three indivudal layers, .010 being as thin as they can make each layer. They are top-shelf premium custom gaskets, made to order. Get ready for sticker shock  I buzz my high-compression, aluminum headed-iron block stroker 7000 rpm all the time, no problem

That's pretty cool... they must have developed a new material recently, as I bought my gaskets almost a year ago.They may be pricey... but definitely worth the peace of mind  ------------------

We used to carry the McCord steel shim SBF .018 gaskets.
McCord was abosrbed up by Victor and they elected to discontinue the product.
