Steel Shim Head Gasket Compressed Thickness? - 07/01/18 08:22 PM
I'm trying to figure out what numbers to put into the compression ratio calculator?
I have a set of: Mopar Performance Steel Shim Head Gasket Sets P4286754 -link
The part number on the actual head gasket is #3614824
The advertised compressed thickness is 0.020"
I mic'd them at 0.015"
My question is, will the embossing give the gasket a compressed thickness closer to 0.020"? Or will the compressed thickness be closer to what I actually measured; 0.015"?
