 Well, I'm going with the gasket to take up the slack in my valve adjustment.  I only need it on the exhaust side, so I'm going to use the locktite 515 on the intake. 

I mic'ed out the gasket and it's .015", but I've read elsewhere on the board that it squashes down to around .010" when compressed.  I'll write back with my numbers once I get it in place.

I have one more question: since I'm using the evil, evil gasket, is there some gasket dressing or sealer I should use when I do my final assembly?  Should I use the locktite 515 on it?  Or do I just assemble it dry?

I got two gaskets, so when this one starts to leak, I can replace it and put off that valve job a little bit longer....

Thanks again, folks!
