i have d16a6 block with y8 head, i have a t3 super 60 turbo and i am wondering if the compression is going to be ok with a stock head gasket, i am running into problems with the spacer and im sick of dealing with it. so my question to be answer is will the stock d16 head gasket be fine with the turbo?

 

depends on how much boost

 

should be fine, if theres any doubt use some ARPs and torque them a little tighter than what ARP recommends

 

okay, head gasket is off now and i will go get a stock one tommorow, i talked to my buddy and he said he uses his stock head gasket and it is fine as long as you keep air to fuel in check.

 

im only running 8 psi at all time also.

 

Use a Cometic head gasket. They are available in 75.5 76 77 78 and 79 mm. diameter and thicknesses from .027" all the way to .120". Just choose the thickness you need. And whatever you do, DO NOT "torque them a little tighter than what ARP recommends"!

 

the thing is i do not know what i need, adam with the white hatch from davison said i would be alright with the compression but that is why i was double-checking. crxkenny were you the flat black rex that met at his house for the dream cruise? i was in the srt4

 

I was at the dream cruise-but not in a Honda.
