Anyone know what the thickness of the stock 4age 100kw engine is. Im goin for an after market metal head gasket and i dont know what thickness to get it as i dont want to change the compression too much. Its for turbo application with 8.9 c/r 4agze pistons.

by memory about 1.2mm, but i could be terribly wrong.
what sort of boost do you intend running? composite headgaskets will handle quite a good amount of boost.
with a metal headgasket normaly need to have the head and block prepared correctly, sonic lapping is normaly the preffered procedure.

whatever it takes for that head gasket to fit. Just wanted to know. Boost will be about 15 maybe 20psi depending on wat power i make.
