b18c headgasket timing adjustment

I just got a spoon headgasket for my B18c motor. Since the motor is now sitting 0.3 lower to the block the timing belt is going to have some extra slack in it. What can I do to time the motor properly with this new thinner headgasket in.

I just got ARP head studs too, any tricks to putting this all back together? Thanks in advance!

Re: b18c headgasket timing adjustment (ScottFern)

You said .3 lower. I guess your talking Millimeters here right. That would be around .012 inch. My guestimation would be your cam timing would be retatded around 1/4 of one degree at the crank. Insignificant......3gdude
