Hello guy's!
I have civic B18C engine with darton kit sleeves.
I had a COMETIC head gasket and he didn't hold this much of boost.
Can somebody recommand me the best head gasket for this kind of boost?
Thank you

i've seen people do it on the stock head gasket, or try the cometic hp one

 

Stock will do fine. I do however suggest o-ringing your shizzle. It will help. Im just going by the experiences ive had also. thanks, good luck!

 

o.k ... you know the stock one looks little tiny near the COMETIC.....
So do i need to trust the stock one?(it's all happend when i chang the turbo to GT3540R)

 

Yeah cometics (some if not most) are thicker, but if your running 30psi, Im assuming (for your sake) that you have a built and sleeved motor, and a adequate engine management. If so, theres no need for a thick headgasket if the car is tuned right, and especially if the motor can withstand the high boost..

Like i said, Stock will be fine..

 

Do you guyz use copper spray on the head gasket?

 

Use copper spray, or you can be brave and Use Spray paint

 

Stock gaskest can handle well over 30 psi of boost. I have seen them hang at over 1000 H.P. Copper spray is what I use and recommend, as well as good headstuds. Check out our web-site http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com Hope this helps.

Any major advantages to o-ringing compared to a step-deck?

Honestly, thats a good question, but i dont really think theres that huge of a difference.. I always wanted to try a step deck just because.. Anyone care to comment?

stock HG and ARP Head Studs.


If you want a Thicker Cometic HG that will lower your CR, click the link in my sig. I'm selling it.

 

Thank you!

 

another thing that you might do is put a straight edge on the deck of your block and make sure that none of your sleeves have dropped.

Just to make sure. You are asking on:

How much torque is needed to bolt the head down?

I did mine to 78ft/lbs...

if your using stock head bolts i wouldnt go over 70 ft/lbs honda spec is 63 ft/lbs with clean motor oil.and its very important to torq your cams to spec if they are over tightend you will loose power or worse damage cams or cylinder head. 8/1.25mm 20 ft/lbs.
6/1.0mm 7.2 ft/lbs
