Default Top end gaskets

I was just wandering if anybody has used these gaskets? They seem to be very reasonably priced. They have good feed back too. Let me know what you think. I'm thinking about getting my cylinders bored out.

Looks like a Cometic kit to me. Cometic has a good kit if that is what this one is. Going with an .030 head gasket?

Thanks Dawg, I'm think I may give them a try. The choice for head gaskets is .030 or .040, and I think a little more compression would be good.

Around here they haven't had luck on boring out ...... just usually go new jugs and pistons.....

When you say not much luck, what is the problem? A friend of mine had his done, and hasn't had any problems (yet). Let me know before I pull the top end. Thanks
