damn rivets

[89whitepkg]

The TMS (Cometic) 1.4mm gasket that I recently installed had no "rivit interference".

what is the best way to tell if it's going to be an issue...(what to look for, I've never done one before.) Or should I just drill it out regardless just to be safe?

If ANY rivet touches the block deck surface, it needs to be removed. Just lay the MHG on with the index pins in place.

My recently bought HKS stopper rivets all cleared the deck fine.

Doesn't surprise me...seems to be a hit-n-miss on MHG's.

:dunno:

mine cleared fine, but I can see how it would be an issue if the block is decked, like IJ mentioned...
