    A small town just out of SLC, no such thing. The I-15 corridor from 75 miles north to 75 miles south of SLC is starting to look like one place. They just keep building more and more.

    .030 thicker head gaskets could be he wanted a very specific cc for the combustion chamber. Or maybe wanted a little extra valve to piston clearance.

    If I understand right there could be a difference ine what gas you can use, either pump gas or racing gas

    Went .030 over to hold the higher compression. Stock thickness would not hold up to 12.5:1. I can run pump gas in it, but it much prefers 108 octane. Lifted the heads today and sure enough, both gaskets were completely blown across all the cylinder seals. I straight edged the heads and the seem to be straight and flat, so I should be able to get away with a single surfacing pass...won't know about any cracks until I get them tore apart and.properly cleaned. Hoping I caught it quick enough to avoid all that headache. I do love aluminum heads, but they are absolutely allergic to getting hot.

    More later...

    Doesn't have anything to do with that.

    Hopefully you caught it early enough. If there heads are straight I doubt they're cracked. You're more brave than me to run that high of compression on pump gas. Lol. I've ran 11:1 but that's as high as I've gone.

    It's amazing what you can get away with these days with all aluminum engines and heads. The new cars with direct injection gasoline engines run a very high C/R as there can't be any detonation. The reason for the economy gain.
