Default 2mm head gasket?

I wont be running over 12 lbs of boost, but my setup is a stock 1 gen b16a and I am keeping the internals stock. What is a good size head gasket to go with? What company is good? Could some people post websites as well.

2 or 3mm depending on your goals/set up/gas.

Dont forget you need adjustable cam gears with 2mm and above. The extra height of the head will throw off the cam timing.

3 may be too much. stick with 2. i think it lowers say from 12:1 comp. to 11:1

actually on a b16a it would lower it to 8.9:1, stock is 10.2:1, yeah you definately need cam gears, and 3mm would be way too much.

ALso I would not do stock head gasket, it leaves too much of a margin for error. unless you have a stand alone where you can tune according to your stock comp ratio.
