Because of the high compression, I plan to by a thicker cylinder had gasket.

I can buy them in the following thickness
.022,.032,.040,.043,.048".054,.063,.086, .093, and  .125 inches.

.125' is around 3mm, 0,093 is around 2,3mm and so on

Any idea how to find out how thick gasket I need ?
The guy who assembled the engine, adviced to use the thickes, because too
low compression is better than too high.

The block has been bored, at least once, probably twice.
Do I have to remove the top. and measure the exact diameter of the
cylinders, or just buy a 'standard'?

Thanks in advance
