ok, after extensive search, im left with the more popular choice, Spoon and Mugen. But a while back, i wanted to lower my cr because it was too high and a h-t member worked for carsmetic* and said they also made headgaskets(well he could make them) to fit my needs... WHat do u guys recommend. Is it a good idea to buy a stock headgasket and take the middle layer out? any problems from personal experience... anything would help. THANX

 

just calculate your compression
before you decide!!

hope it helps

 

i just want to lower my cr. now WOULD A STOCK GASKET W/OUT ONE LAYER BE A GOOD IDEA??

 

you want a lower or higher cr? you can take a layer out of a stock headgasket but it will raise your compression ratio

 

As beerman stated, if you take out a layer of the stock headgasket it is going to raise to compression due to the head being closer to the block. Which obviously if your trying to lower your compression you need a thicker one then what you have now.

 

my bad... i want to higher my cr. (too early in morning, posted right before class).. now i know i can take out a layer and hat highers my cr, but are there any consequences for this.

 

Does anyone have a link to the cometic?
I have heard of some poeple having problems with leaks, etc when removing layers from the OEM headgasket.

 

get a HKS, Mugen or somthing else thats equally as good......toss it on and call it good.

In the catalog it does not show different thicknes, they only show stock.Call them and ask them.

they make thicker ones , I run one for the past year , 15 track weekends and no problems at all.

 

is the tranny in good cndition and how much would you sell it for

 

What kind of headgasket do you have now? If you are using a stock one then getting another stock one and removing the middle layer would raise your compression ratio. If you have some sort of aftermarket gasket, then getting a stock one will probably lower your CR, depending on what size you are running now.
