Duke 2 Stroke Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 I have a 421 Cub engine I’m building and I wanted to know what are the difference between the thickness of the gaskets. What are the different sizes for? I have a .012 thickness gasket and a .020 thickness gasket. Quote
375hp banshees Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 Rod .012 for 115 But .045 for 110 so idk about .020 What pistons? Quote
Tedder Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 Calvin casted for specific gaskets but most Builders adjust the porting to use a .020 http://www.cpindinc.com/pub/part_list?manufacturer=3 1 Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 Porting and dome specs can play a role in gasket thickness. Might be something to look at also. Quote
375hp banshees Posted January 6, 2019 Report Posted January 6, 2019 ^ , ^ assumed it was as cast, since he's asking us ,instead of builder Quote

375hp banshees Posted January 7, 2019 Report Posted January 7, 2019 Now back to your regularly scheduled thread already in progress... So, is it as cast or did your builder send those gaskets with it after port job? Quote

Wasn’t sure what thickness to go with at time so I went with .020 base gasket Quote
gusto Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 That’s a pretty standard choice. Make sure you measure your squish with a piece of solder. YouTube SouthTexasBanshee and he will show you how to measure it. Quote
