Hi all
After some head gasket advice.
Have searched the forum but cant seem to find an answer.
Have an overheating of 440 looks like it was caused by non sealing head gasket.
Heads were badly milled, some head bolts seemed a bit loose around middle cylinders, motor had standard felpro gaskets.
The deck has surface variations of between .004" and in one area .0065".
My question is with everything else being perfect ( head surfaced, new bolts, bolt hole threads cleaned) and a composite gasket,will the head gaskets seal, or am I just rolling the dice here?
