Help selecting proper head gasket

mt17249 · 08-28-2012, 02:34 AM

I am rebuilding a 7mgte and am having trouble selecting the right hg. I have searched and searched and havent found answers for everything. My cam journals were so badly scored that i bought a rebuilt head from a machine shop in NJ i think. But without the history on the head i dont know how much was taken off of it. Does anyone know what the total height of these heads are befor they are machined? Also i had the cyls bored out .5mm w/ new pistons and block deck cut. I would like to use a mhg but not sure what size or brand. Do i need to get hg that would be "bored" like the cyls or just roll with stock size? Any help would be appreciated!! THANKS!!!
