So wanting to built a new engine for my car and it looks like the ST170 bottom end and Blacktop cylinder head is the way to go.

The only down side now is Ford no longer do the Focus RS 1.8mm head gasket.

So looking around It seems I can get a MLS 1.6mm and was thinking the best way now is to have 0.2mm taken off pistons.

Any thoughts or advice please.
