Head Gasket
So I was just wondering about the different thicknesses of headgaskets. I dont know to much about them and was wondering if anyone can explain why you would want to have a thicker gasket.
I was using a cometic .60 and i think i blew it on my h22 low comp turbo. thinking maybe it might have been too thick or maybe i should buy a better name gasket.
Anyone know any good headgaskets for 87.5mm h22a darton sleeved?

Re: Head Gasket
Having a thicker head gasket will yield a lower compression ratio.. Having a thinner head gasket will yield a higher compression ratio.. Other than sealing the block and head the different thickness is used to change the compression ratio to ones likes.

Re: Head Gasket
The boost level has nothing to do with your head gasket.
Also, talk in terms of horse power, stating a boost level doesn't mean much. First determine a horse power goal and buy parts to meet that goal; the boost level required to make that horse power goal will be determined by what parts you use. For example, if you use a small exhaust like 2.25 inch you might need 14psi to make your horse power goal but if you use a 3 inch exhaust you might only need 10psi of boost to make the same power.

Re: Head Gasket
My first gasket was off of golden eagle and then i went cometic my second time. Well I know that your setup varies your boost level and horsepower. I know that with my current manifold i wont make my 500hp goal so I am just going to get it tuned to around 20psi and what ever that makes it makes. Till i get my manifold and tial wastegate.
I made 284hp and 248tq on 11psi
low compression and a log manifold didnt help with the hp/boost level
anyone know any site to get arp headstuds for less then 120?
