Question, my motor is getting rebuilt again (under warrenty with shop thank god) with new weisco pistons which are overbore to 82.5mm. Now, can I still use the stock head gasket for this, is there any slack to allow an addition 0.5mm with the cylinder wall, or do I have to buy a custom head gasket?

If anyone can let me know, i would REALLY appreciate it.

83.5 is the largest, but wiseco doesn't stock that size. You'd have to custom order it from them.
