    head gasket advice???

    i will be fitting a set of scat rods and a set of JE pistons in my ABY engine,the pistons i am looking at will be 82.5mm. will a standard RS2 metal gasket still be okay seeing as the stock bore is 81.0mm? will the standard RS2 head gasket be fine for 450bhp?

    450hp easy on a metal gasket.

    The gasket measures 82 mm on the bores so i think 82.5 will be ok but just on the limit.

    Maybe someone can confirm this

      Did you run the RS2 Gasket with a 82.5mm in the end?
