- Hi Gang, I'm trying to figure out my piston to valve clearance and was wondering if anyone knows the torqued head gasket thickness of a stock 74 1/2 TR6 head gasket. Thanks ! Nick Gemas gln@worldpath

- I'm at a loss to understand what possible difference this could make, other than some very slight increase, (or decrease), in compression ratio. The maximum amount that the valves can be opened is a

- Richard Good's "TR6 Compression Ratio" chart states: "This chart is based on a compressed head gasket thickness of .035" which equals 4.0 cc." Dave Friedlander CF25194UO

- My head is shaved for 10:1 compression ratio, which closes the gap quite a bit. My cam is running .443 lift with new roller rockers so I want to check my piston to valve clearance to be safe. -- Orig

- Provided that you have your timing chain installed correctly; there is not even a small chance that your pistons will collide with the valves. As I said before, in stock form with the pistons at TDC

- At the stated lift and compression your valve clearance is fine. Competition engines run 12:1 compression with higher valve lift without a problem. Just be sure that you maintained your rocker geome
