marine gaskets were used on marine engines. they have been crossed over for the truck engines. they have heavy fire rings and heavier price and come in different thickness. .020 is what we use. they have a different part number.

and we can only get one for the 12v. we cant get any for the 24v. just the normal cummins brand gasket.

Re: head shaved 20 thou. 10 thou. gasket, will the valves hit?
 

What to you call a heavy price and what is this part number so i can check it out if what you say is true then all the people that walk into cummins and all the guys that buy them from the link above are just getting a normal. .20 gasket

Good talk Tony thanks :tu:

your welcome

What was the outcome boys?? I would like to know because my truck supposedly has a marine gasket and i might be taking the head off. I'd like to put it back together the best way with the rite part.

.020 over marine gasket is a cross over gasket. many shops are doing this. that is what i sell to for the 12v. :tu:

I run my truck with a .010 gasket and my head is shaved .020! I also have a II cam and have had no problems it spools the turbo better,but if you are going this route you better be sure to check your clearence.

my 5.9 24 valve block has been resurfaced .009" to remove some scratches . will I need a .010" over gasket ? or can i use a std one?:humm:

1 hr later.

Machine shop just told me he would go oversized if .014" & over.

it depends on a lot of things to say if you really need an over sized gasket. If you want to just throw it back together just get an over sized gasket
