Hey here my situation: my headgasket has a tiny tiny leak that makes itself known in boost. Problem is i bought the engine built. It has a copper headgasket and it O-Ringed. I was under the impression that its not possible to oring stock sleeves so that makes me think its sleeved... so that implies its bored out too? Can you get it sleeved to stock bore?

So my problem is I have no idea what more headgasket to buy. Can stock sleeves be o-ringed? If I pull my current headgasket is there a way to tell from it what the bore is?

pull the head and measure the bore of the cylinder. yes you can also measure the headgasket bore. yes a sleeve motor can have a stock bore

thanks for helping me out... can oem sleeves get oringed? If I have an oringed gasket now do i need to but a replacement gasket that is oringed as well?

thanks again

no way its built dude... only 200whp? 2.0's are at almost 300 on same boost. ouch babe.

nah it is built, we had major problems tuning, this headgasket leak, a boost leak, failing ginitor in high rpms.

Everythings fixed but the headgasket so i am just trying to figure out these things about the gasket i need:

Thickness?
Bore?
Oringed/Not Oringed?

So I can get the dang gasket and get this thing retuned already...

turbotime

bump... what thickness headgasket am i supposed to get? Also how do i measure the bore on the current headgasket, can i just measure the cylinder hole diameter in MM and that will = the bore?

if my block is oringed can i still use an OEM headgasket?
