Hey i have a question about my build im putting together. I need to buy a headgasket to finish my turbo build and will be using a cometic overside gasket. I have a LS head with a GSR block. should i use a headgasket meant for a gsr or an LS?

 

bump i need help...ordering gasket soon...dunno which one

 

gsr gasket

 

i would use oem gasket. lot of guys don't have luck with cometic. and just use dohc vtec gasket.

 

Golden Eagle can supply you with an oversized bore oem gasket.

x2

thats what i used on my build

 

cometic here no problems, i have a few friends too with no problems, all pushing 300whp+

 

So GSR gasket not LS gasket?

 

I always pondered in my head what an LS head would do on a vtec block. What does it do. Its the total opposite of the lsvtec so please explain. Does it just accomplish a different rod/stroke?

 

yes, accomplishes a different stoke and compression ratio. it slightly lowers the compression ratio so that i can run a moderate level of boost with only adding a thicker headgasket but still have the GSRs better lubrication. makes for a nice cheap turbo setup.

That does not make sense...Why not run a vtec head and make the power you want with less boost? Do you want more "boost" or more POWER?

 

ls suck because of the head. so why would you put it on vtec block!

 

oh wow i didnt even realize, i thought the op was doing an LS vtec but he's doing the opposite, VERY STRANGE... but to each his own...

I read right over that too.A gsr block doesn't have any real world advantage over a ls block once you bolt a ls on it.The rocker arms limit the rpms so as to not take advantage of the benefits of the gsr lower end.If I had a gsr block I would use a vtec head.If I had a ls head I would use a ls block.But that's just what I would do.

IF you haven't had any bad experiences with it, you shouldn't say anything. Your comment is from hear-say.
I make over 800WHP and run 40+PSI and have had no problems. All the cars I build run Cometics and no problems as well. I've been using Cometic for years.

ok so since everyone misread the post. ill ask againd oes anyone know whoch gasket should be useD? dont ask why im doing it i have my reasons i just need to know which to use.

 

cometic is junk, do a search.

If you want proof just as i can provide it.

 

ok well lemme try asking this question a different way. does an LS and a GSR have the exact same 81mm bore?

and when i said 300+ let me be more specific i make 333, my good friend made 550whp in his drag crx 2.0, and i have 5 friends with evos all making 5-750whp ALL with cometic, i used to work at a shop, all we used was cometic, we built MANY 550+whp cars and NEVER had a problem.

 

how are u going to put a ls head on a vtec block the vtec block has extra oil holes for vtec thats why when you do a ls/vtec you have to tap the vtec head The Ls does not have a Vtec oil passage <U></U>

yeah im gonna have to ask you to go ahead and gtfo of your own thread with that attitude, you should be happy were not flaming the hell out of you with your retarted idea of your reverse ls/vtec. nobody knows the answer cause nobody has done what your doing cause its plain retarted, have a nice day with your funny engine combination... all this for better oiling, how lame, i know people revving LS blocks to 8500rpm+ with stock internals and boosting!
