I need to know if all D series head gaskets are interchangeable between different blocks and heads.

I do know that they have different thicknesses that will vary your final compression ratio, but are there others that are stronger or weaker on different blocks?

To sum it up, I am rebuilding D16Y8, and I want to save some money by purchasing a cheaper D series head gasket than the Y8 one. Granted the Y8 is the thinnest, giving higher compression, does that really stack up in the end?

Thanks

 

cheapest one i think you will find is the old Graphite ones from the Crx d16 they are like 20$ but damn you cant afford 34$ for a new one?

 

Flames accepted and aside, I am trying to be cheap lol. I want to get this rebuild done sooner than later, and cash is pretty tight.

 

u get what u pay for so being cheap will just make u end up building it again

 

dude, seriously...its the matter of like 10.00..........please please for the love of God, get at the minimum a z6 head gasket..,.......dont get those pos compostite gaskets.........why dont you get on ebay......you want cheap??? entire top end gasket kit for like 47.00......cheap=unreliable in the long run...hope you have some good shoes, you'll need em

 

Looks like I'm going with the Y8 gasket. Thanks guys!
