i went out and bought a caliper to measure and it comes out to about 116mm even

does that sound right?

and i called the shop and they said they have worked with peaple putting mhgs on and that all i have to do is spray the head gasket with cooper. do you guys think that sounds right?

You do NOT spray metal gaskets of any kind with permatex copper spray.

That is for any other type of gasket besides metal and rubber. Some of these guys do that. I used permatex on all of my paper or whatever they are composite gaskets. The stuff works great if you use it on the appropriate seals.

well anyway i took it to another more reliable maching place (carquest) they use a diamond cutter instead of a stone. he said they fucked up on a corner of the head so he had to machine a little farther down. another $60 down the drain.

so that machine shop really sucked a lot of dick then. i dont even know if they did a valve job and replaced the oil seals. ill post some pics of the head when i pic it up tommorow.

$60.00 is a small price to pay for the repair. It's probably the best 60 bucks you could have spent thus far.
