Looking for a new head gasket for my Predator 6.5 Hemi. Is the one for a Honda GX200 the same thing as the Hemi head? Also I have the following mods and am wondering if I should get one with a certain thickness to it...

Governor removed
Oil sensor removed
Billet conrod #ARC6254 from omb.com
Billet Flywheel #ARC6626 from omb.com
18# valve springs
High flow exhaust pipe
High flow air filter w/carb adapter
Walbro fuel pump

Also need side cover and exhaust pipe gaskets but it seems that the GX200 gaskets are the same ones. I am wanting to try and get these at a local place and they don't sell "clone" parts but have Honda parts. Don't want to wait for shipping time from ordering on line. Any help on the head gasket info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Head gasket won't work because the Predator bore is .080" bigger.
I'm with you on the side cover gasket, Honda or clone should work.
Exhaust gasket will sorta work. There is a slight spacing difference between Predator and Honda/clone but again, its very slight.

Piston to head and piston to valve clearances are what you need to check when determining what thickness gasket to buy.
