Are there any of the .045 BB ROL gaskets to be found anywhere? I need to pull a head off to have it flowed and Im worried I wont find a gasket to put back on the motor. Any leads greatly appreciated!!

As sort of a last resort, I called Source. I told him what I was looking for. He says they have the ROL gaskets. But the gaskets are now white without the red embossing the ROLs have/had. I ask what is stamped on them and he says Corteco. But, supposedly the same makeup/composition. He also says they are 4.480 bore, .044 compressed, where the ROLs were 4.380 bore. .045 compressed. But, the website shows them as being .051 thick. So WTH??

Marvo, I truly appreciate your response. Im gonna pull a head (452) and have it flowed. I have a set of 915s that Ive already flowed. If the 915s flow better, I'll need a set of thicker gaskets, something in the .051 range. But, the 452s are the winner, I'll give a shout about the ROL you have. Thanks!!
