This seems to be the most appropriate place I can find to ask this, so here goes.
Does anybody know the compressed thickness of the fel-pro mls head gaskets for the sohc engines(I have an ej251 in my 01 Forester)? On the package it says something about measuring the gaskets you remove to see if they're around .026" stating that's about what they should be, but I was under the impression the OEM gaskets are .040" thick.
I'm getting custom pistons that are 10.5:1, but was assuming the replacement gaskets are .040, so now I'm thinking of just getting Cometics so that I know the thickness. Probably better than running the fel-pros anyway.
