CAM HELP NEEDED!

Running 2316 forged pistons on H beams. I have a set of Mahle head gaskets that are supposed to be .040 thick but I don't know how much they will compress.

Your gasket is measuring thicker than it should because it looks like you are measuring across the sealing rings.

Find an area that doesn’t have a sealing ring in it and measure it there.
