You need to trim it, but I can't tell you how. Call Rapid Ray (search for his phone number).Ed
To measure is to know.

The OEM 1150 gasket is not cheap at around $100. The 1166 bore (75mm) is only 1mm bigger than a stock 1150 bore (74mm). The Suzuki 1150 parts fiche shows no oversize head gasket offered but they do offer a 1mm over piston (75mm). It is likely that the only head gasket offered would work with no trimming if you see my point. Disclaimer: I have not used the factory 1150 head gasket on a 1166 block, but it looks like it would work. I would use a cometic gasket and be done with it.

Ray trimmed an 1150 gasket for Posplayr. A guy on here (can't remember his name) used it for a 1168 kit and it worked.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.
