Trying to get my motor finished up and the pistons are coming out about 5 thousandths. I have both Cometic and RJC gaskets. Cometics are thicker should I go with those or will the RJC gaskets hold? Seems they might crush and then my pistons will hit the head. What are your guys' take???? :confused:
 
Thank you to Mark @ Weber, Nick @ Arizona GN and of course BISON!
This is not as big of an issue as I/we thought. Running a .040 gasket there shouldn't be an issue unless over .010 out. I'm going to run the Cometic which is .060 guess I'll be at 8.75:1 instead of 8.5:1 which doesn't bother me since the car is a street car that will see a very few passes. Not going to cage this car.
