Which head gasket?

My heads have been milled a very small amount, .005. Which head gasket should I use? Did a search and didn't find anyone with .005 milled heads and what gasket they used. Sorry, I know this is a common question. Just want to be sure I get the right stuff.

It depends what your goals are, but really a stock gasket would be fine if your motor is stock. With the milling it will raise the CR just a bit.

Re: Which head gasket?

I got a new pair of stock headgaskets when I swapped mine out. Your heads are milled such a small amount I don't think it will make much of a difference. Some guys are running the Mr. Gasket set, if I remember correctly it's very thin, like .026. If you're looking to raise the compression and get your quench area down, that would be the one to use.

On the Mr. Gasket sets, I assume I will still be able to run 93 octane gas with no problems. Do I need a special intake gaskets or will stock ones do if I deceide to go with the Mr. Gasket set?

I have not heard of any issues using 93 octane gas and the thin gaskets. Standard intake gaskets will be fine.
