i searched this on this site and other sites and even yahoo.

my question is are there any company out there that offers a single layer head gasket or a thinner head gasket for an h22. i was going to get some type s pistons put in my block and i wanted to raise the comp up some more. i know that if i want to put after market pistons in it then i have to sleeve my block but i was wondering if there is a cheaper way besides milling the head.

any info is greatly appraised. thank you.

 

milling the head is the same as getting a thinner HG. cheaper too. $50 to mill and $50 for an OEM HG. $.02

3 ways... deck the block, mill the head, or get a thinner head gasket. Once you deck the block or mill the head, there is no going back. Everytime you take the head off you have to buy a new head gasket. How much more is the thinner one? Its up to you what you want to do.

 

yeah i know those ways already but i was wondering if a company makes them (the head gasket). like the single layer head gasket for b-series from mugen and stuff like that. thanks for the info pirate and ranta18.

 

Check with Cometic. They make different sized head gaskets.

 

Go to http://www.Prospeedpower.com

They make custom headgaskets and make them for h22's. Click on Custom Headgaskets in the menu on the left hand side.

 

doesn't spoon make emmm?

 

Not for the H-series, they barely make parts for the Prelude, I have only heard of like two parts for the Prelude.

 

all those companies you mention doesnt make a single or two layer head gasket. all they make are custom bore ones. maybe ill just call to talk to them. thank you any ways. if any one has any more info, please let me know.

Incorrect, Spoon made a high compression head gasket for the H22. It might be discontinued, but some vendors still have them. I'm sure that Spoon made them because I have one.

 

so who has one...and where did you guys get it?
