3400 headgasket on a 3100?

[FallenZ24]

I'm just wondering if running the larger bore gasket on the 3100 will cause any mechanical problems. I know it will ultimately lower the static c/r a bit. Will the engine still have plenty of "cranking" compression? Will the fire-ring be too far from the cylinder?

Thanks,
Joseph

since people put 3400 heads on a 3100, i'll guess it's not a problem. Good question. I hope it's explained how the slight over-lap of combustion chamber to cylinder bore might effect things. I thinks it's very very slight though.

It's not a question of combustion chamber overlap. The combustion chambers are the same. I'm asking in the larger bore gasket will cause any ill effects.

Anybody got an idea?

should be fine, it's not that much bigger.
