we got a 330 kit on my 300ex and the head gasket says 75mm and the bore is a 80mm, can we still use this gasket or is it gonna mess some things up? i need some help cuz im pretty confused on the whole cylinder/gasket/head thing

You might need to trim it some or grind it down with a dremal, but be very carefull in doing so. You might wanna experiment with a old one.

Where did you get the 330 kit from? When I bought mine, FST sent me a gasket that was machined to an 81mm hole with a metal lip around it. Do you just have a stock gasket?, or did they send you one? All you would have to do is trim the headgasket you have, out to the size of your cylinder. I had to do that with my base gasket.
