Hey all,
What's the thickest head gasket available for these 4.0l? I've now had .026" taken off the deck and 0.015" off the head. I was previously running the FelPro 9076PTI which had a thickness of .051" so would like to step up to bring the CR down as much as possibe. Are there any fatter ones out there? I have read about .060" gaskets but I've so far been unable to source.
Regards,
Anthony

Re: Thickest head gasket
I should have known to just ask you first
That would be great. Thanks, Russ.
Also are you happy with the Cloyes double roller? I've already ordered one but if there's a benefit to one of the others that you sell please let me know.

The Rollmaster is a better timing set.Mopud wrote:I should have known to just ask you first

Re: Thickest head gasket
I use Cloyes Hex Adjust sets on anything that is not getting a belt drive. The hex adjust is quick and easy and we've put thousands of passes and thousands of laps on them without a single failure. The hex adjust feature makes degreeing the cam about as fast and easy as it can be. Of course I put one on the stroker as well.

Re: Thickest head gasket
The Rollmaster has billet gears with 2°incremental keyways on the crank gear with solid rollers.
Either way the Rollmaster and Cloyes timing sets are serious upgrades over OE

Re: Thickest head gasket
Hex Adjusts also use billet gears and solid rollers.

Re: Thickest head gasket
I guess those must be custom made 'cause the only off-the-shelf Cometic head gaskets I could find are 0.040" and 0.050" compressed thickness respectively. I've updated a full list of available head gaskets on my site at http://www.jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/tech_specs.htmlRuss Pottenger wrote:I have .060 Gasket's in stock Anthony.
