So im getting ready to pull the head and replace the HG and maybe the up the pistons from 12:1-12.5:1 and i was wondering which head gasket everyone reccommends for a fully built 84.5mm bore block? the one thats on there now doesnt seem to be sealing right or somthing, im leaking oil from the drivers side front corner where the head meets the block. we checked everything else it could possibly be and its definantly comming from that spot. ill probably be replacing my pistons with some endyn rolerwaves if that makes a differenace on the HG...any help and suggestions is appreciated! thanks guys!

Have the block deck and head checked for straightness. As for a head gasket, many of the companies that do sleeving also offer OEM head gaskets that are bored out to 84mm on up to 87mm. Cometic also offers overbore head gaskets.

 

give Ericks a call he carries 2.0 head gaskets 310 -320-5788

 

GEM does too.
