If it's only the top end then yes it will work but you will have 2 umbrella valves in the kit that you don't need.

Does the kit you are looking at tell you how thick the head/base gaskets are?

If it doesn't specify then the gaskets are stock thicknesses.
40 or 45 thousandths for the head (don't remember right now) and 20 for the base.

In most cases you want to replace the stock head gasket with a 30 thousandths head gasket.

THC-so you would say go with.030 being i've got an ev27 going in and 10:1 pistons? Better compression but will it be harder to turn over? I think I tracked down the p# c9851 w/.30
head gasket or c9747 for .045
thanks

I had a 10-1 Ev-27 cam combo never had a starter problem. I now have a 11:1 woods 9b still no starter problems. I do not have compression reliefs.
