Anyone know the thinkness of a Mitsubishi MLS 6 layer head gasket? My valves are clipping the piston in cylinder 3 and im looking for a slightly thicker head gasket. Anyone have any recommendations? Im thinkin permatorque?
Thanks!

You mean Mitsubishi 4 layer MLS. I believe they are around .05ish (compressed).

The permatorque is .055 compressed:

Your head and block need to be decked to 40 RA finsih for either the mitsu or the felpro gasket.

Although the head gasket is not your problem, and a thicker one will likely not solve your issue either. There is something wrong with your valve train in cyl #3
