One of the valve cover blots stripped out on me and It happens to be one that goes all the way down to the cylinder. My question is if I pull the head off do I need to get another gasket because I just replaced it.
Next question. I'm running a 416 and I had a commetic gasket that put me at 11:1 compression. I blew a head gasket in the middle of Pismo beach and my only option was to replace it with a stock honda gasket. I'm told that because the diameter of the gasket is smaller than the bore it will lower my compression. So does anyone have any idea what compression I might be running with the stock gasket? It seems to be running faster now with the stock gasket than it ever did with the commetic gasket.
