I will only use Cometic .030....(thickness depends on build though.)

Great gasket and keeps the squish in check! Never had one blow even at well over your compression.

Stock bore for 88 or 96 is 3.75 inches
Big bore for 95 or 103 is 3.875
98 or 107 kits are 3.939

The gasket bore diameters for 88 or 96 ci is 3.850
gasket bore for 95-98-103-107 is all 3.950
