    MP 006 Head Gasket Thickness

    Anyone know what the compressed thickness of the MP 006 head-gasket is? I searched the forum, no luck.

    Yep that is very close. I use .068-.072 when figuring out compression ratio.
    Hey Randy what motors in that ole Pontiac? Me and a old neighbor growing up LOVED those 421's. 421 in a 67 firebird was one really fast car! 428's were cool too, esp when round port heads were added.

    Hey Todd.
    That's a Canadian Pontiac, a 1967 Strato Chief. Although very close in appearance to the U.S. cars they used a Chevy chassis, engine, trans and rearend. This one was a 385 H.P, 427, T-400 and a 12 bolt. I sold it about 12 years ago and recently came across this photo.

    Thanks
    Randy
