Does cometic make a headgasket thatll drop compression on a b18c1 down to 9:1 like an Inline pro headgasket? Price-wise, which one would be cheaper? Ill be running a stock block for this year & built next year, so dont wanna drop the $300 for the inline pro headgasket, & throwit out next year.
What do you guys suggest doing? thanks.

 

inline pro gasket is $300!!!??? god damn... never see me pay that much for a head gasket

 

Plus with cometic you can choose your thickness.

AND, cometic is only 65 bucks.

 

wait till you see the price of the blitz head gasket that the crazy fast people run.... why they need to run such a thing... i have no idea... maybe viren can elaborate...

 

Id get the inline pro headgasket...it has been proven and proven again.....u get what u pay for

 

And so has cometic. Cometic has been around for years making head gaskets, way before inline pro. Plus, they are made of the same exact thing.

Do they pay or sponsor you or something? Everytime I see a inlinepro post your always saying something. Is that what you run?

300 for a thick headgasket is a lil too much if you ask me.

 

I do not run it because I am going the non vtec route.....no they do not sponsor me but give me a fair deal on stuff...I just know the guys up there and see how hard they work and I believe there products are top quality...and I have never heard abut that other head gasket

 

Inline is top of the line stuff, like On Point EK said I have never heard of that other HG.....

 

where can I find a cometic head gakset? Can I use copper without o-ringing? I'd like to raise my compression a little, I think 9.0:1 is a little low. I want it around 9.5:1 or something like that...

 

What does going the non vtec route have to do with running the Inline Pro head gasket?

 

Cometic gaskets are made of a tri layer steel - just like stock, just as durable as stock (which is pretty damn durable). You can buy them at http://www.raceeng.com

 

From what I've read in other posts about Cometic is that delivery time has been less than desirable lately. Maybe someone can clear that issue up about them.

 

raceeng.com has most of hte gaskets in stock .Just call up there. The cometic gasket is the way to go if you go with larger bore sizes etc. But if you plan to stay stock bore stick with the factory gasket. Theres no need to change anything just get the correct pistons to match your compression you want to run. It hella of lot better than running just headgasket to lower the compression.

 

If I put a head gasket on my b18b I would have 7.1 compressionand I am not trying to run 65 pounds of boost

 

 

does the cometic have a 9.1 compression gasket??

 

ok b18bturbo, what you are saying is that i dont really need to worry about getting a headgaskett for lower compression if i plan to run stock internals at this time (on an ls 2k)?

 

thats is correct you dont need a head gasekt to lower your compression on your motor. Just stay stock

 

cool, thanks!!!!!
