Same story here. I just tell them this is what we're putting on. Saves you from future headaches.I agree complete, but a lot of folks do not want to spend around $100 for each gasket. I would, but my response stems from working with customers.

If you want to keep the head surface mint use an MLS (cometic) headgasket .
How thick were the Superformance ones?Just an FYI,
I could not find .02 thick steel shim head gaskets. I had Mr Gaskets on bo from Summit and they keep moving the delivery date back.
Called around and got a set from Marsh Performance. Superformance made in USA.
Delivered in 2 days!
1009 Gasket bore is 4.410" and 440+060=4.350". The gasket bore is 0.060" larger than the bore so it is virtually impossible to "overhang" the head gasket.
You are correct, I mis-typed and meant to say 440 + 0.030"= 4.350" as his block is only 0.030" over....060 over is 4.38. The 1009 will overhang some blocks with large chamfers, 400 blocks and late 440s seem to be more of a problem. Sometimes non mopar machine shops overdo the chamfer, just need to check it. Sometimes they unshroud the head to much, or use a 8519 for a pattern when putting big valves in, 1009 will overhang. If you run nitrous it is smart to be sure the ring is back about .020.
They are .022"How thick were the Superformance ones?
