    Does ANYBODY make a .020 thick head gasket?!

     



    In order to achieve the "perfect" quench I need a head gasket that is roughly about .018-.022 in compressed thickness. I have searched through alot of companys and the ones that do have the right size I either have to o-ring my block or I cant use my aluminum heads... so, can anybody guide me to a place that has the gasket for me?? thanks
