81mm head gaskit on 83mm bore
ive got a question
think i may have to remove my head.
im running a 83mm cosmetic gaskit
i was wounder if i could use an oem 81mm gaskit for a replecment.
it will take about 3 weeks and $200 latter to import one into nz
i want to get back to the drags in a week or so
running 400hp atw b16a 83mm bore with darton sleeves
thanks

Why bring attitude? A simple 'yes' would have sufficed, yet people always spend more time being a smart *** than just answering the question. You drive a Chrysler Crossfire, you MUST BE a tool.
It is a valid question, mine was slightly rhetorical. I guess I could have said 'couldn't' rather than 'could'. Why wouldn't theshodan tell him to bore out an 81 rather than wait the 3 weeks?

I'm not implying that it can't be done, and if the shop he goes to is experienced in doing so, godspeed. But if the machine shop isn't familiar with MLS or OEM gaskets and any special processes that are needed (I don't know which), you may be buying yourself into trouble because that shop may not know the nuances it takes to keep that gasket reliable as it creates it.
So, in essence, I'm saying, wait for the correct company to give the correct gasket. - Buy 2 so if it happens again, you're good to go

he's in new zealand. its going to be awfully hard for him to find someone local to bore a head gasket.... He's pretty much stuck with having one made, which will take some time
And my response wasnt to you but the op... my phone has started putting a ^ before every this for some weird reason
