90881, Headgasket and other gasket!
Posted by gilee_8, Jun-24-05 05:39 AM
Sup guys.
My engine should be back from the machine shop in 2 weeks or so.

Well, I start browing the web for headgasket and all top end gasket kit. (like valve cover gasket, etc)

and from never thought of, I have this questions about the headgasket.

Since now I bored each of the cylinder wall by 20 over.
Can I still get the Stock MLS headgasket? shouldn't the diameter size of the cylinder will be different from the engine block and the HG? please let me know if I am just thinking too much on it.

Second is, When I did my timing belt and HG last last year. I got the entire top end gasket kit for like $70 shipped. (forgot where)
Does anyone has a good place to point me to to buy one gasket kit like that in a good price with good quality!

Thanks alot guys!

Thanks alot.

So it's good, in either one of the follow reason.

1) HG cylinder wall diameter size is slightly larger then original specification of the boring size. so even 0.020 or 0.040 will not exceed the HG diameters.

2) Or is it because since HG is way up there touching the engine head, so the piston will never go that high anyway, so it doesn't matter?

Just want to know the reason.
Thanks again.

EDIT: damn, I just called Bob Kise, he no longer works there.
Any other place you guys suggest to get good and cheap HG and top end gaskets? (kit?) Thx
