Default Re: Head Gasket Thickness for 1969 L-78 (375hp/396)???

I don't know the correct gasket for your car, it will depend on the tolerences that your builder comes up with. Don't expect to get the factory advertised comp ratio without some work. On my ls6 it came out to be 10.86 to 1 after blue printing it. The deck was untouched.honed 10 over with venolia pistons,heads milled and no massaging of the combustion chamber, Obviously if it was not honed larger and the heads not milled it would have been even lower so the factory numbers aren't exact.
