Hi all,
Wondering, if I bore a EW .020, will stock head gasket work properly?

Or should i use something else.
Having a hard time getting a gasket to seal after rebuild.
Thanks

If everything is together? do a compression check and then a leak down check. Is everything apart? Is your block warped? Or maybe your head warped? Check it with a staight metal ruler, i bought mine at harbor freight.

The felpro gasket only works with stock bore. You need the d16a1, as mentioned above, to fit overbore. Best to check the head and block with a machinists straight edge. Some other brands will work with overbore , but are hard to clean, and have a shorter life, Dave
