i'm ordering all of my gaskets for my rubuild right now, and i'm not sure which head gaskets i need to get. not sure of the bore and compressed thickness! it's a 302 stroker, i didn't have the cylinders bored, just honed, and i have no clue what compressed thickness i need! i'm running patriot performance stage II heads, if that helps. and 10:1 compression ratio. please help asap so i can get these ordered!! thanx!!

 

Order the stock head gaskets from Ford. They are exactly what you need. Triple layer metal gaskets. I've talked to several shops that build these motors when I was building mine and they all said the best gaskets you can get are the OE gaskets.

 

thank you!
