#39424, "Copper Head Gasket Size?"




          

Hey, I am going to order a copper headgasket from headgasket.com, but I don't know what size thickness to go with. I'm tryin to drop down in compression a bit, cuz im gonna run a hahn kit. Just want to know what sizes you guys recommend. TIA

I would tell you, but I don't know the exact thickness of our stock headgasket. I've tried to search for this information. I haven't made a post about it cause it wasn't really that important to me....but I created this spreadsheet that calculates the CR for differing head gasket/mill depths. I've heard that the stock gasket is .040, also heard that its .046, but I don't know what it is exactly. You need to know the exact thickness for the spreasheet to be usefull. I guess you saw it coming - what is the exact thickness of our headgasket? Anyone?

Here's my CRCalculator spreadsheet - http://www.users.fast.net/~metaljim/garage/CRCalculator.xls

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

u can use the mls factory gasket, the victor reinz from car quest which is setup for aftermarket meaning bigger cyl holes and then their the new felpro mls gasket with rubber sealant which so far s the best ive seen then there is the tti head gasket that lowers the compression 1 full point but i dont wanna post wrong numbers and i cant find the numbers i had seen earlier
