Which head gasket?
On an engine with a 4.530 bore which head gasket would you use? FelPro lists a gasket with a bore dia. of 4.540 and a gasket with a dia. 4.640. The first gasket seems a little small. Any gasket material in the combustion chamber will cause hot spots,detonation. But the second one is a little large. Which one should I use/

I am trying cometic this time around.
I have been using felpro for years.
4.540 is what I would run on 4.530 bore.

Cometics are hot right now. SCE also has a very good composite gasket. Gasket bore you need a minumum of .020" larger then bore.

They intentionally take some persuasion to get them on
I'm running the 4.540 with the 4.530 bore per Cometic.
