Upgraded B18 Head Gasket Choice 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be tommyt544 on  Tue Jan 28 09:55 CST 2020 [RELATED]

Looking for some advice on the thickness of a head gasket for the following:

B18D block bored with 0.040 pistons and a B18B head shaved 0.010, mildly ported.
2" exhaust
K cam
4-2-1 123GT manifold

I had 155 compression on all 4 cylinders with the standard low compression B18D head. Not really sure what to expect with the new head.

Any recommendations on the head gasket?
