Hi

I am going to lift the head on my 1,8 so I figured i might as well change the headgasket, (It is not blown)
The plan for this season was not to build the engine (that will come later)
For this season I am going to run a TD04 setup on E85 and decent tune

My question is, is it a good idea to get a thicker headgasket to lower the compression?

 

It's a good idea to search the forums for the answers to your questions before asking them.

For instance, you could type "site:miataturbo.net thicker headgasket" into Google, and the first 6 results or so are threads which discuss this specific topic and include answers to this question.

 

Thicker the better. Id say about 1/4" would do wonders.

 

Ok thanks, I see that you dont recommend a thicker headgasket.




Do you run it?

 

Dude do you really think anyone here is running a 1/4" gasket. NO

 

i am not familiar with inches, might as well ask right?Then its a Stupid comment if you ask me

 

Well, I tried.

 

Inches are like centimeters, only bigger. Thats why Americans have such large penises.

 

2.54 times larger if I remember right

 

 

25.4 times larger or 2540%
