anyone run a Mr. Gasket MLS setup?
Apexi seems to have stopped bringing the 1.5mm headgasket over...this seems like the next best thing...however, i am still looking on info about whether or not the mr. gasket piece can accomodate anything over stock bore...most HG out there, even stock, atleast allow for an OE overbore like .25mm or .5mm
I just want to know about experiences with these, Cometic is out of the question.
I think this is cool. I just don’t know who has used it…
It’s been out for a while, since like ’02, enough time for it to be deemed legit or not.

a question that popped up for me is-
what are the 3 layers WITHOUT any spacers, thickness-wise? It tells you the spacer thicknesses, just not what the base layers are…from the compression ratio chart in the link, I figured out that the 3 layers by themselves is almost the thickness of a .037 honda gasket, about .035 I guess, since it has the 3 layer combo without spacers yielding a 9.2 CR on a stock z6…which is about right.…then you just add 1 or 2 spacers in any combination to that…pretty sick.
if I am correct, that means just the .5mm spacer would make the total thickness about 1.5mm, or 1.4478mm lol
