Head Gasket replacement

When you are fixing someone elses work it's hard to get all the true facts.

But what information I can gather 340, flat top pistons, hydraulic cam. headers. Yep! pretty vague .:banghead:

Thanks for the input I will check on what is out there.

Open chamber, closed chamber? When you have the heads off it is easy to check where the pistons are. Use a piston stop and verify if they are in or out of the hole and then measure for a - or + number....... Gasket selection is much easier with that information and the CC of the heads so you calculate the compression correctly. You could always just mic the ones that came off or look for a marking and get the same thickness/kind that was on it.
