Stock gasket thickness?

Post by China_Racer_1 »

Quick question.

I got some hi compression pistons in my FZR 400 engine. They are from Wiseco.

I put them in but they are hitting the top head so I need about 1.5mm between the two surfaces.
Q: what is the thickness of a stock gasket?

All I could find here is a very, very thin metal one (about 0.25mm thick) that hardly worked much less gives me the clearance I need.
