i wouldnt see any problems with using a "thinner" head gasket with that setup being that the compression characteristics of those pistons are about as aggressive as a sun flower. If you plan on using a Honda head gasket, I'd opt to just make it into a 2 layer and mill the head some.

Re: b20Zvtec question.. (ian)

WTF?

aggressive pistons???

nah man, if you dont get it - the pistons are not designed for VTEC valves or VTEC type lift...

TriK - the only way to know is to clay your engine's valve clearances to know for sure...
