The Best Graphite head gasket does not fit an engine that is bored .125" over or an engine with oversized (1.73") intake valves. The gasket cannot be aligned accurately because the stud holes can get enlarged during installation and the fire rings end up contacting either the intake valve or one of the pistons during operation.
