is it true that you can lower the compression on an engine by putting in a thicker headgasket. If so im running at 6lbs of boost. How much more boost would i be able to run. And at where could i get the gasket.!

Dont Mind the newby question..!

 

it is true. you will hear most people prefer going w/ stock headgasket w/ pistons and rods, but there are plenty of people running one bar w/ a thicker headgasket. u can buy inlinepro or the cometic one.

 

I bought my Cometics MLS headgasket from Race Engineering. They are out of Florida and they usually keep these in stock for Honda engines.

 

inline pro

 

Ive never seen or installed a aftermarket thicker head gasket yet, But Ive done up to 11psi on a stock b16 motor on pump gas with Hondata and it held up fine. Just be conservitive with timing up there. Good luck.

 

Thanks for all the insight....gonna look into them. But has anyone on H-T. actully used them. what would be the max PSI that i could get. NOT that i would run that just for then information reasons.
