d16y8 head gasket info..
so guys, it seems i got a small crack in my head gasket and im losing water a bit...
im looking to order a new gasket and have the head/block milled in case there was any warpage.. will know how much to be milled (shouldnt be more than .010 on either side id imagine?)
however i would like to also put back a 2 layer head gasket when fixin it up..
however......... i dont know the honda part number for the gasket... i was told this is an oem honda gasket, is this right? if yes.. anyone can share the part number with me? that'd b greatly appreciated...
also.. should i change anything else while im in there? this surely isnt a 'build' in any way (cant afford that yet) but i also want to know whats the thickest gasket i can get so i can run 11.0-11.2 compression using zc pistons? the thickest i've seen so far is a cometic .079.. what's thicker and where do i get it?
i think however, that i'd just go for a .010-.020 total milling with a 2 layer gasket- should get me to a decent 10.5:1 cr....
any thing else i should change once im in there? head studs maybe? motor wont ever see past stock redline as i dont expect to modify it further netime soon..
thanx for info.....
