Make sure it's right!!
I bought a cometic head gasket for my Xflow thinking that if I buy the best, I'm less likely to have problems(it's quite heavily tuned).
Came to fitting the HG and the pushrods holes were about 5mm out!
A call to burton power and agreed to send it back to them, they checked it on one of their engines and it was out, they tried another one, it was the
same. They had a whole batch of wrong 'uns.
I kind of lost confidence in them after that and bought an adjusa gasket which fitted perfectly.
Hopefully yours will be fine though!
MK Indy 1700 Xflow

That was the first thing i checked 
Looks fine, but I'll be checking everything again when I build it....
This ones a custom made, burtons don't stock ones this thick with a bore this big - So replacements take 6 weeks+ (never mind the eye
watering price  )
its a pinto gasket, but 93.5mm bore and 0.075" thick
