Another parts find in the haul. These are from 74 and must be for standard bore engines. Check the meat out between the cylinders. I think newer ones are thinner.

Re: Fortunately gaskets never go bad….

Yup, I found a few of these on ebay a few years ago and bought them all up. Apparently the gasket manufacturers nowadays assume every engine is over-bored and never heard of sleeving cylinders.

Simple economics. A LOW volume part. Make and stock 1 number that fits all rather than 2 separate parts.
I imagine they may dig out the old tooling if you wanted to order 1,000 of them.
