I am about to clay my motor ls bottom and GSR head but the only old head gasket I have is from b20s
Could I still use it just to lay the motor? All OEM head gaskets are the same thickness right? Don’t really want to buy a head gasket just to clay the motor
Any help would be great
Thanks
Jason

 

yes just clean all debris from the used gasket.

when i am instaling the new head gasket is it necessary to remove all four brass rings from the head gasket also do i need to clean the new one with anything or just put it on
and what do i use to clean the surfaces of the block and head (just a shop rag?)

- no leave brass rings
- blow off with air gun then spray with copper spray
- spray brake cleaner on a rag and wipe top of block/bottom of head

good luck

hey greg is the lower timing cover for a ls, gsr, and itr the same i put an itr oil pump on and i need to get a timing cover it is a ls block with a gsr head which lower cover do i use

 

you can use the ITR or 96+ GSR easier, the 94/95 LS and GSR you have to grid a bit on the bottom to get it to fit properly.
