Default OEM D-series Head gasket???

What is the thinest? Do you know if there is a difference in the D16Y8 and the D16Z?

The y8 head gasket is the thinest metal oem gasket available for the d series motors that I know about.

to see if there is a difference, visit some manufacturer websites that make head gaskets and see if the part #s are different for the two engines.

y8 is the thinnest and y7 and z6 are a little thicker,z6 is about twice the thckness of the y8 but it still isnt much, maybe.010 thicker before compression

Don't go to the dealer... They only stock one gasket for the D-series now, and it's a replacement based on the d16Z6 thickness.

Do yourself a favor and try to find a tech person from Fel-Pro or another gasket maker.

It depends on what dealership you go to......here in socal, they gave me two part numbers...one for the z6 and the other for the y8. Of course I took the y8 one and it only cost me 35 bucks.
