after market cams have the base circle grond smaller so the push rods are probably not going to be an issue.... or you could use 998 ones.

Get a piece of stainless the same thickness as the recess water/laser cut to drop into the recess.

Get a company like Real Steel to make a gasket? I seriously doubt it! |

Right okay, who can do that sort of machining - effectively building the block back up? More Boost, More FUN! |

I would contact Mike Tanski Ferriday Engineering, they are specialists in head gaskets, I am quite sure they could provide a 2 piece gasket with a thick copper fire ring to take up the group A machining in the top of the block. This is what I will do if it ever comes to it, my engine has the group A gasket but I am also lucky enough to have a brand new spare on the shelf.

I contacted Ferriday ages ago about this, & helpful as he was, he said he couldn't help.

Moss still list the gaskets as in stock, although it may be a lie.... |

The pistons sit lower than the fire ring at tdc anyway don't they so if it was to be skimmed the pistons would need any machining would they?

No moss has none emailed the other day, and oh right so seems the most viable option is to do the skim? More Boost, More FUN! |
