This is already difficult to read. Terry, you might want to put it all in a spreadsheet and then do the occasional snipping tool/screenshot and upload that in the first post.

It appears as though the forum doesn't support tables, otherwise that would be a good option too.

i would rhonk 97mm bore heads on a 92mm bore would cause bigger issues than my 99mm bore heads on a 97mm bore block
the actually head gasket bore size is the same, firing ring in the same size too. I drilled the wrx head gasket to match the coolant passages properly. when and if I have it apart I will be installing modified jdm ej20 head gasket.

so the 2.2 head chamber fits within the 2.0 gakset?

that wasnt the case with my 2.5 heads on the 2.2 block. the fire ring was inside the little chamfer on the chamber, so i used 2.5 gaskets
