you can use factory and bore it yourself otherwise get the 85 and just open it a little more.

Why are you people not going to COMETIC Head Gasket ?

Anybody have ever using and have Experience with these Cometic MLS Head Gasket in High Performance Version because I Just want to order for my Drag Race Engine .

Thank you for any informations .

GOD BLESS U

 

I was going to just recomend the Cometic as they are offered from 81mm - 86mm and a variety of thickness'.

 

I've been using cometic for 2 yrs.and sold alot of them in different thickness not a single problem..

 

Yeah ...i never lost one

20 psi on b16 84 sleeve street motor
to 13-1 compression Na street application

 

I know alot of people that have had problems with cometic. I ran one in my last motor and it seemed ok. but the black coting they put on them is kinda crappy, check one out the next time you remove one after being used. Plus the dowl holes never seem to be big enought on the ones i install.

 

What is the standard thickness of a stock gasket?

 

I would definately go with the cometic head gasket, they do have an 86 mm bore, and they are even reuseable too.

when you hear people have had problems ...consider the source

the dowel holes work for me all 5 times i used those gaskets

 

Ok well I consider Tony the tiger here one of my good sources, I know IB has had problems with them. I have installed 4 of them and 3 out of the 4 had to have the dowl holes enlarged. I'm not saying there bad I'm just giving my experiences with them as well as a few others.

Edit sgt didnt have probs

Thanks dude.

 

cometic gaskets are among the best and the strongest ... they weren;t made to be reused (as we do sometimes witht he stock honda ones) ... all Pro Stock v8 cars use those gaskets made by cometic and have switched over the years from the copper which worked the best at the time. The ring on the gaskets creates excellent sealing ...

although pricey, i recommend them to anyone cause they work on extremely high compression honda motors with arp studs.

well pall the best head gasket to get for your application is a cometic head gasket u will have to work out how much deck height u want so u can get the thickness u need but here is the best place to get it from they have them in a number of sizes and can get them to u in a matter of days. http://www.nipponpower.com/eng....html

 

Stock headgaseket is 0.6mm or .029".

yes thank you for the correction

 

actually the stock head gasket is 0.7 mm 0.029" to b exact that would be 0.0733 mm.

 

I suck at standard to metric conversions. I do know for a fact the .029" is correct though.

 

cool its just that we just finished building a b20 vtec motor and all the calculations are still in my head cause its a full race motor in a rally car.

 

i would go wit RS and have them cut it, cosmetic is a POS... i stop selling those dam headgaskets .. and inlinepro is a POS too.. customer complain about leaking, but we never sold inlinepro ones.. they bought straight from them, but brings the car in wit leaking headgasket.. if u don't want problems and last, just go wit STOCK recut, from RS.. only way to go
