.050 on piston?

Snedge, can you give me some more info on the marine mls gasket? My piston protrusion is .029 so I am using a modified 12 valve .020 thicker gasket I got from you guys. If I pop this one I'd rather run a mls gasket instead of I ringing my head for another 12 valve gasket.


Well... it's a thicker version of the automotive gasket. Total pre-crush is .059"
 
What's the total precrush on the thick mls gasket? What I'm asking is if it will make up for my extra .01 of piston protrusion.
 
So I should be good with the marine gasket since nothing was taken off the head?

Sorry for the thread derail.
