what is the stock head gasket size on y8?

[vtecrcr4]

i wanna know what the stock size is on the head gasket for the d16y8. i want to change the gasket when i put in my cam.. any suggestions on what brand/size/type to get? wanting to get a slight bump in compression.

just use the y8 and take the middle layer out and you will get your slight bump in compressoin

what if you dont wanna raise the compression ? how bout using the y8 gasket and LOWERING the cp ratio?

if you wanna lower compression just run a thicker head gasket, like something from cometic.

Are you talking about the head gasket THICKNESS!
0.02500000in= 2 layers
0.03700000in= Stock

I don't know that I've seen a headgasket thinner than the y8/z6 gasket. You can always remove a layer from the z6/y8 gasket.

removing the middle layer from a head gasket sounds like a good way to waste $60. especially for 0.2:1 bump in compression.:doh

he said he wanted a slight bump, and i got my gasket from the dealer for $29

[S Q A D]

29 bucks ??? a z6 gasket ?? my honda dealer told me 40 bucks for a 98 y8 gasket

[dragman99]

that's not enough to make any kind of difference. y8 gasket was $63 from carquest.

A full 3 layer Y8 headgasket is .027". I've measured several.
