Thicker head or base gasket by at least .010. Good thing you checked. Apparently I am at the edge for iron cylinders at .030. Obviously if I hear any contact I will install thicker gaskets right away. I also plan on tearing the heads off after some full temp running to see if there is any evidence of contact.
