Ok Gude didnt tell me that their heads were milled so much which i should have researched from the start. Anyways i have golden eagle block with je 9:1 pistons, should i buy a thicker head gasket for go for it. How hard do you guys think it will be to tune..

Where can you buy thicker head gaskets that work on oringed blocks..i need ideas guys help me out

 

I built a ls/vtec for my friend and he got the gude head package. The head is milled like a mother F*cker. You do have lower comp. pistons. If i were in your shoes i would get a thicker head gasket. But that also depends on your fuel managment and how much boost you want to push. If you want to boost in a low psi range, like under 6 i would try to see if i could be tuned safe.

 

I bought a turbo head and it was only milled just slightly so where u can apply the head gasket???????

 

im going big boost 23psi on a t360-1

 

kinda hard to tell unless you can figure out your Comp Ratio N/A. If its going to be high (above 10) running that kind of boost might cause problems for you.

 

Hey the gude head is going to put your compression ratio at (estimated of course) 10.2-10.6 with a stock head gasket so you decide from there.

so will a thicker head gasket fix this problem where can i buy em at?

Exactly 23psi, eh? If you're going to do that, I would pay a little more attention to detail...otherwise you may not have a single motor for very long...just lots of little pieces.

You could just run LESS boost with higher compression and make about the same power with faster spool-up. .02

 

thats true

 

COMETIC(1 440 354 0777) is the place for any style headgasket. i typically run there .057 HP on stock motors.
