Ford Model A Gasket Thickness?

Post by C.A.R.E. »

I have a customer supplied Model A head gasket that I need to know the compressed thickness of. The block has been decked and the pistons are above the deck. With the compressed thickness I’ll know if and how much I need to deck the top of the pistons. I have included some gasket pictures to help identify this head gasket. Thanks for looking.

As guide....For .060 thick Felpro composite gaskets used on vintage Chevy and GMC inline 6's, I have measured .005 compression.
