I'm thinking you have a lot of chamfer at the top of a 4.500" bore? You might be looking for unobtainium.

Check Flatout Gasket. Summit shows a ship date of 6/1. Maybe buying direct would be faster.
Ok

Might try some of the copper companies like Clark. We have had issues with cometic for awhile. They also now seem reluctant to any "custom" stuff as well. I have had to use Clark more than once.

I spent a couple of months getting some 4.5 in .080 Cometic. I called them and was told they make them "to order".
I'm seriously considering to get my heads and block oring'd and just use a copper gasket. A little Hylomar around any liquid passages seals them up. The Hylomar is what most of the alky guy's use. I have used it in the past when I ran copper gasket and had no leaks.
I run 15 lbs of boost with the cometics and have never had a head gasket problem that is the only reason I'm hesitant to switch

Did you speak to anyone at Cometic? I've had very good response with getting gaskets direct. Doug When I called they were working short days, and using less people. Dave
