does anybody know the deminsions for oringing the head?
and do you just use a stock headgasket?

my local shop will do it, but he needs deminsions for doing it, and he said they can either use a .41 or a .51 wire? i dont know what it means. but any help would be great

I thought you used a copper gasket but I'm not sure.

.041 or .051 is the diameter of the wire.

My 24v head had .41 wire, the groove was cut .039 wide and .029 deep, leaving a .012 protrusion. I can't remember the diameter of the groove cut though.
