I just called Gasket works and they say that they do
sell a lot of spitfire head gaskets but, they do not
sell gaskets with the recessed lip. You have to shave
the block (and that's a pretty deep shave to make and
requires a shorter piston).
The price, though is only $75 from the .022 to .054"
thickness. And it's available in any bore size you
need.
I called PAECO and they said the same thing. No recess
lip on the gasket.
Looks like I'll be re-thinking my rebuild. That lip is
about a 1/16" deep.
