Hey guys,

Just got a question regarding headgaskets.
Currently I have a unopened smallport GZE, but running a turbo instead of the s/charger. Anyway, the engine is fine.
My question is about what size headgasket I should be using if mine ever blows. Iam not sure what i would need, regarding compression etc....
Why I ask, is I have been offered a HKS Metal .6mm for cheap and just want to know if I should grab it for later on, and it's something i would like to know anyway...

Thanks fellas

another stock 16V gasket would be fine. You can fit the 0.6mm but it would be a good idea to deck the head. It would raise your compression a little which if tuned for would give you more response off boost but less top end power.

I see... Thanks Sam, Much appreciated....
How thick are the stock ones by the way?

some say 1.2mm compressed, some say 1.15mm

it's written as 1.2mm in more places
