What is the standard thickness of the 1.7 head gasket?

The compressed height is 0.2mm on a ford gasket.

Any advice on where can I get a pair of steel head gaskets and a 10mm spacer?

a 10mm spacer and 2 head gaskets would give you a wickedly low CR... Is it for a drag car with a GT70 turbo? :twisted: What made you choose that thickness of spacer ?

You can get the head gaskets from Ford or Burtons http://www.burtonpower.com/cometic-head-gasket-010-83mm-ford-puma-f3-1-7l-c4223-010.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
