Would it be a good ideal to use a Mugen 1 layer gasket with a .020 milled head?

Im thinking the cr would be around 11.1-3. Anyone have now and would like to comment? Any problems with it?

 

I'd do it.

What cams are you running?

I'd clay the motor just to be safe.

 

Mugens are 2 layer

"METAL HEAD GASKET
A two-layer construction is used instead of the normal three-layer gasket plate construction, and a rib (+0.07mm) is laser-welded close to the plate surface sleeve to prevent blowout occurring at high compression. This head gasket raises the compression ratio by 0.4 points. Construction is entirely of stainless steel."

Assuming your using a b18c5, stock pistons and such, and the head is at .020 off and a 2 layer gasket, your comp. ratio should be around

11.47 : 1

 

is there a one layer head gasket?

 

The "one layer" gasket is actually two layers.

That's where the confusion stems from.

 

I think Spoon or Toda make one.

 

Spoon sells a stock head gasket with the middle layer removed.

Toda sells metal head gaskets in three sizes (0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm).

Stock head gasket is 0.6mm.

 

Should be closer to 11.8:1 with the milling and the gasket.

 

Will there be any gains with increase compression using the stock cams?

 

yes. like 1-2%

 

what is the best gasket to raise my compression the most?
