the only thing to remeber is milling is permanent . buying a thinner head gasket may cost more but can be replaced. MTBER is right though it is cheeper.

 

True, keep in mind, Toda sells thicker headgasket to help you out if you mill the head over extreme. Using 2 OEM gasket works too, its been done before (from experence too)

BTW, the Spoon has some sticky layer coating over it, while the Mugen doesn't.

Don't forget, if you mill your head, it will retard your cam timing.

 

Forgot to mention the cam retardation issue with milling your head.. :-/

Bert-O you SUCK! j/k

 

a thinner headgasket will do the same as u are changing the distance between the cams and crank, thus throwing the tooth alignment off as well as you cam timing

i think my post stated the difference in the numbers. now without knowing my rebuild, yea maybe, but the numbers say alot. and so does the rest of the information given in this post "IMO"

bert-o

when you used two head gaskets what was your procedure? i know about de-layering them but did you combine or ????

thanx

cometic also makes thicker head gaskets

 

He ment using 2 OEM headgasket plys to make a 2 ply headgasket. You remove the brass rivets then remove the single ply and bam your done. I personally use coper spray to keep them together.

Cosmetic makes headgaskets for pretty much any application.

 

i dont want a thicker one i want a thiner one to raise compresion

 

I know this... tell chitti chown that

 

haha true lol

 

ok so how would i take the middle ply out i want to do this....would it be worth it?
