Like Tony we use a stock Payen gasket notched to fit the larger valve with no

about 0.175 milled, am now at 0.130 after my last head gasket problem turned

giant valves (they clear the 87 mm liners), so I notched the liner to match
the "mickey ear" of the stock gasket so there was something supporting it on
one side in the pocket that disappeared. I put the seam side against the
liner then.
