Yep, it's an older 7013 gasket and after several overheats and nut retightenings it is squeezed very thin. Wish I could find more like it.

50 lbs. compression on all 4 and good power. I poured oil on top of the pistons and cranked it over a few times, so it won't rust over the winter. No measurable ridge, and I don't know the history of the engine. It's just an "as is" thing I put in to keep the car on the road while I restore the original engine. I'm hoping new pistons, rings, and valves will put it back in good shape.
