Closed chambers gone bad… that’s a wrap

Others have run two head gaskets stacked together to get the needed thickness. Different thickness gaskets can be used on each side.

If you use either method you will have to double check your pushrod length.

None of this is ideal but short of tearing down your short block it may be your only crutch.

Another thought is to measure the combustion chamber depth of your heads to see if one is deeper than the other. Also may be able to mill the chambers on one head a little deeper.

If this wasn't my daily driver, I would forget all of the above and have the high side pistons milled, or start over decking the block and buying new pistons.
Yeah that’s what is tuff right now, I’m in a position financially to tackle this however I want to which I’m grateful for but I also would like to enjoy the car for summer. Im all for plucking the motor and sending it out to do a stroker but I know I’d be shocked to have it on the road by august. The gaskets are my short term option but if I need customs ones who knows what lead time is for something like that. This whole build has been a struggle haha ideally I’d like to get it close for now and drive it and then pull the motor over winter and have the entire assembly redone and new cam etc.
