How do i go about doing this? Do i drill out the rivets holding it together? If so will the head still seal properly with those rivets missing?

 

anybody?

yes you do, what do you think a those spoon / mugen gaskets are??

I am doing the same thing and i was contemplating how to do it myself, it doesnt look hard but i was wondering about a tried and true method aswell.

 

you can do it but just spend the extra $20 on an aftermarket 2 layer.

 

more like $70. OEM headgaskets are only about $50.

well i already have an OEM one and was i'm jus trying to do every little thing that helps... Even though it won't do much, all the little things will add up in the long run...

 

its easy, you dont need to drill out the copper rivets either. Just squeeze them and bend them out of the way, you will see, they are sooo soft, u can literally use ur finger nails.
