Bore size really 63mm?
If you measure pistons at top, you'll get smaller number.

Measure bore that might be 64-65mm

Head gasket 65mm.
Size under is 62mm, next step over is 67 or 67.5mm.

hi the actual pistons are 30mm over size, the gasket i bought looks to be to small when each piston is nearly at TDC it catches the gasket

30mm oversize, wow, I'd like to see how that works 😬🤔🤔🤔🤔Do you mean 3mm?
Trust me I'm a Nurse, I promise it won't hurt....much
