Bore size is 4.310.
I have (3) Cometic 4.350 MLS gaskets that are .040 compressed thickness. They are all identical and brand new.
My question is this:
Can I remove the rivets from the (3) gaskets I have and use the third (extra) gasket to add a layer or two to the other (2) gaskets that will be used - to add compressed thickness - giving me another +.010 for a total of .050 or thereabouts?
Scat 6.8 steel rod.
My machinist is advising having a deck steel shim built (another $200-$250) that would work with my existing gaskets.
Does my question make sense? Thoughts?

I did that with a set of cometics, Haven't fired the motor yet will let you know.
I don't see any problem though
