this past friday i changed my headgasket....
from stock to a cometic .43 MLS turbo headgasket
also got arp head studs
new gasket and studs installed

head ready to go on

semi clean piston

 

nice

 

looks like a fun job, what was the hardest part?

 

honestly it wasnt hard at all...its pretty strait foreward....the hardest part was getting the timing belt on and off without loosening it ahaha

 

ahahahah hey gambit is ur sig from the bud light comercials?????

hopefully that doesn't blow on you....I've seen nothing but problems with Cometic.

Why didn't you loosen the tensioner- there's a hole in the timing belt cover. Mark the belt and the cams accordingly and put it back where it was. Just a suggestion

 

nice work man

guys do you know of a good turbo headgasket for a d15b7???? any help would be great. thanks

 

cometic or stock....just get arp studs

 

how much did you pay for your studs if you dont mind me askin? around $100??

 

thats nice the gasket should hold up just fine with the arp studs. good luck.

 

ya it was like 95 for the studs , holdin up great

hahaha!!!! TELL ME ABOUT IT!

 

Looks good! I have to attempt this too.... stupid headgasket! How long did this process take you?

 

how much is that supposed to lower the compression? I wana put a thicker headgasket on before i turbo my car, and i was wondering if it was worth it.
