The new 17059 and 8519 I have were around .046-.048" IIRC, but I was mostly concerned w/ the bore dimensions at the time I did the comparison. Another brand of BB head gaskets that were advertised as having a .038" compressed thickness measured .040-.042" when I pulled them off after my last tear-down, so I don't know how "exact" any manufacturer's claims of compressed thicknesses are for composition-type gaskets.

I thought that was only an issue w/ the 1009 because of the built-in steel o-ring in the fire ring. FWIW, the 17059 and the 8519s have identical dimensions (4.50" bore & ~ .040" compressed thickness), but different construction materials. I have a set of both on hand and verified the bore dimensions and UNcompressed thickness, but don't have any used ones to check compressed thickness. Also, according to Fel-Pro's tech papers, their Marine-spec head gaskets are made the same as the race series (like the 1009), except they don't have the steel o-rings in the fire rings. The fire ring did leave an indentation on the heads and I put em back together as they were...........not a problem. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
