Bore .020 over, will my head gasket work?

[packinkimber45]

Hello everyone. I am having my block bored .020 over since my ptw clearance is .0035. I already have a new oem mitsubishi composite head gasket I bought from my local dealership. My question is since I am going to be boring it .020 over, will the composite head gasket I bought work for it or will I have to go with something else? I read somewhere on here about cylinder bore sizes and gasket sizes, however nothing in regards to the oem composite head gaskets. Thanks.

Your HG will fit fine without issues.

I'm 20 over with an OEM MLS HG.

I understand the mls head gasket will be fine, but how about the oem composite head gasket? I dont know what size the bore is on that gasket.

The oem composite head gasket will work perfect,actually the oem headgasket can be used from stock bore to .020 overbore, I just did an engine swap with a bored .020 block with an stock composite head gasket with no problems.
