I'm not sure why you would want to "cut the head gasket". A standard
unmodified 1275 headgasket fits engines that have been bored out to 1380cc
(roughly 0.120" over).

Subject: More Cylinder Head Questions...
Still working on compression issues and other head related things....
After taking a look, the highly modified head that I have was modified to
fit an engine that was sixty thou overbored. Since my bottom end is stock
bore or thereabouts, is there any issue with fitting a head with a
combustion chamber larger than the bore? Are there any downsides to this?
I would assume that it is appropriate to cut the head gasket to fit the
head, not the block bore, correct?
