Re: Milling heads

["65" <65Val@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I replaced the head gaskets on my 273 from the factory steel shim

and take my time installing the intake bolts as they were getting out of 
line pretty good.

Keep in mind head gaskets can be as much as 50 thousandths thick as compared 
to the factory shim steel being 19 thick
