Re: Why do I want to raise compression? (zx2gotboost)
the y8 is from the 96 to 00 ex's, and if your boosting you want to lower your compression, so you kinda made your self look ignorant

on H22s the stock head gasket is 30 thousandths (.030) if you get a thinner one, say .015 your compression will bump about .5 points. (10:1 to 10.5:1).
and a bump in compression of this order will give you about a 4-6% increase in torque across the board.
You should see the same % numbers on the SOHC, just working with smaller numbers. I'd say go for it, you're probably only shaving .005 or so (5 thousandths) but if they cost the same who cares. Just remember for every .015 you remove between the cam gears and the crank you're retarding timing about half a degree (calculated with H22 cam gears which are about the same diameter as the D-series ones) so you might loose the power you gained unless you have an adjustable cam gear.
Hope this helps.

hey fucktard, settle down. Vtec or not makes no difference with your gasket, so stop shitting yourself. The y8 gasket is thinner than the other oem ones and WILL raise your compression (despite what some other moron said). As for what is affected by raising your compression, refer to what h22mike said. You could have had the answer to all of your bitching and moaning alot sooner if you had actually read what the others had told you.

Re: (tuck'd98)
btw if you have a d15 a y8 head gasket wont work d15 with d15, d16 with d 16 its as simple as 1+1 plus
your compression will be close to stock compression if not the same, y8 headgasket, wrong one!, brand new valves and valves valve job?? whatever that is? cylinder honing, squat, brings your compression back to stock numbers across the boards no performance gain over stock, valves adjusted perfectly, they should be perfect anyway

its scary that this guy is going to boost/swap his car...you arent going to attempt to install the turbo kit and swap the car are you? you definatly need to do some research before you ask stupid questions.
sorry for the assholish comment.
