[Fot] trt 3/4 head gasket

[Tony Drews]

I use a stock composite gasket and will get a season out of it.  I 
was at about 0.175 milled, am now at 0.130 after my last head gasket 
problem turned out to be a collapsing combustion chamber in the head 
problem.  I don't have giant valves (they clear the 87 mm liners), so 
I notched the liner to match the "mickey ear" of the stock gasket so 
there was something supporting it on one side in the pocket that 
disappeared.  I put the seam side against the liner then.
