i'm getting .044 from .005 deck clearance + .039 gasket = .044 piston to head clearance. I just asked about marine gaskets because I saw them and wondered if they were different in some way. I don't mean to bother you, if you don't want to answer questions then don't bother, not gonna hurt my feelings dude. You seem to know what you're talking about and you usually reply, so I ask.
