Try FLATOUT GASKETS.. owner Mark Adellizzi... past Fel-Pro engineering background ... I worked with him for many years... great guy! http://www.flatoutgroup.comBUT... as surface finish is a problem of concern for metal faced gaskets (ie: MLS, copper, etc), why don't you just use the Fel-Pro Performanc BB head gasket #1009... fiber faced, ant-istick coatings, with stainless steel armor that warps around an internal pre-compressed wire ring... this is bullet proof... long lasting and race proven! The internal wire ring is the same concept/design as commonly used for diesel engines (with high CR such as 16-21 and up).

The thickest is Felpro at .052. I need .062 or ideally .067

How close to the correct finish are you? Who the hell knows ... without the tool to measure RA its a guess. BUT I did watch a video about head gaskets and deck finishes and I don't think its smooth enough. Even the machine shop says its not smooth enough for MLS gaskets.
