Back in the late 90,s we set the record and had to take both heads off, when I went to put the motor back together I packed the generic BB gaskets in the trailer(4.250 bore) as opposed to the 4.100 396 steels I took off the car. Made first round and ran the same,left them on for the rest of the year. I would go with the bigger bore gasket (283?) than alter the deck with a thicker gasket. gsa612
