I've picked up what is (I hope) a bargain recon cylinder head & plan to fit it as part of my May spring clean. However, it struck me last night as I was making a list of the bits that I still need to buy, that I don't know what thickness head gasket to use. The had has been skimmed, but I don't know by how much.

So: how do I work out the correct thickness of head gasket? I used to use a length of solder pushed through the spark plug hole back in my two stroke days (daze? :D) but I'm not sure if that'll work on the JTD.
 
I would go for the thickest gasket. I think it is the one without cut outs.
Regards
Stephen
