metal headgaskets, why bother? Wed, 06 July 2005 10:07 Go to previous message
I untill recently was going to get myself a thin metal head gasket for my silver 20V to raise the compression, now from what I hear I need to deck the block before I use one. Does this mean machine it flat?

I am wondering if I need to do machining anyway why not just machine the head down to raise the compression and use a normal gasket?

-how much does the compression get raised to with a 0.7mm gasket anyway?

-will it seal without machining if I use that Hylomar spray?

-perhaps I am asking the wrong thing altogether, is it worth fitting these at all from a power/economy point of view?
