FE Technical Forum / Re: Cometic MLS head gasket misbuilt?
« on: May 03, 2024, 07:56:58 PM »
I got the new Cometic 4.170 gaskets and they clear the cylinder but still shroud the chamber when laid on the head. Would you consider using a fine die grinder on the head gasket to profile it to the cylinder head chamber shape. It only interferes at the 2-3 and 9-10 O'clock areas. The gasket does clear the whole cylinder on the block. Wondering if the gasket protruding into the valve area but clamped by the head on the cylinder would pose a hot spot potential or burn issue? Jim
