head gasket thickness's for cometic??
Hey guys,
I gave inlinefour.com a call since there head gaskets are now special orders.... well they started asking what thickness i would like since cometic head gaskets are now custom made...
What im trying to get to is.. what head gasket would you guys suggest for a B18C1, t3/t4 turbo, i plan to run about 15-18 psi...
Thanks for the info!!

if your running a turbo setup a factory size HG will do just fine. But depends on your compression ratio.
If your CR is a bit too high, you will need to get a thicker CR to give more clearance/lower CR
Factory b-series headgaskets range from .028"-.031" so if your running a good CR that thickness headgasket will do just fine

b18c1 = 10.1 Compression Ratio
That's pretty good for a bolt-on turbo kit. lets say if you get a head gasket as thick as .041" then your compression ratio will be 9.6:1 which is a bit lower then 10:1
