I found a cheap cometic MLS 75.5mm headgasket and Im in a crunch for a gasket and saving money is good

but can I use a 75.5mm gasket when my bore is still the standard 75mm?

Thanks

 

I've never done it but my instincts say it's going to leak. Get a Napa gasket, like $30 and I can say from personal experience I have boosted on them and never had a problem.

 

all metal? I cant seem to find a cheap MLS gasket anywhere

Its only 1/2 a milimeter though, I figured it would be just fine

 

NAPA sells MLS gaskets for $30, I'm currently running one...

 

measure it. i had 5 OEM Honda b20 gaskets here directly from honda......they ranged from 83.8-84.5 i was pretty shocked.

 

My d16 MLS Jobber gasket I have measures ~75.5 mm, it came from 75mm stock block

 

It's fine, it won't hurt anything and you're no more likely to blow it than if you had a 75.5mm bore. What motor has a 75mm bore?

 

im sure its fine

I know with a 81.5mm bore you use a 81mm gasket.

I don't know why most people don't understand this.

It's not a .5mm difference! It's .25mm - that's like a human hair.
