the motor is an ls vtec. ls block, all gsr internals and head. the pistons however are ls so as youd imagine the compression is lower than say a gsr. so, first off, anyone knwo what it would be? ballpark figure...

secondly it needs a headgasket. so i figured id use the thinnest one possible to get a little more compression until i can source some higher compression pistons.

anyoen make one thats thinner than stock and which one would i use with an ls block and a gsr head. bore is 81mm.

Mugen claims a gain of .4 compression with their headgasket.

 

why bother! a waste of time & money if you don't bump the comp!

 

its not a waste of time if it has a blown headgasket. its a nessecity. so why not rerplace it with somethign thinner?

any otehr input?

 

If that's the case, then there are several options available. Mugen, Spoon, Buddy Club, Cometic...

Funny, I said the same thing about my last girlfriend.

 

alright. anyone knwo who makes the thinnest one? any reccomendations?

 

Mugen is the way to go just got mines in the mail from HT user Mefain
