Cylinder head dimensions

[80sprint]

Last time i looked i had no response so here goes again..<br>
<br>
I need the minimum acceptable dimension used when you measure from the face of a Sprint cylinder head to the cam bearing face. Mine is 4.730 and i need to know if a standard gasket is ok.<br>

Think i have solved it.<br>
<br>
120.5 is the minimum factory dimension. Mine looks like 120.2mm so i think i need to go with a thicker gasket.<br>
<br>
Bit worried about the cam/sprocket now though after reading about skimmed heads.. Still need to source thicker shims and could do with a vernier pulley.<br>
<br>
If anyone has one spare they can let go , let me know how much. I can list my e-mail address.<br>
