Can someone tell me the oem thickness of a d16y8 Headgasket? Whats a good size to go with? Id like to get something slightly thicker but not overdo it cometic offers from .27 all the way up to .74

.037" is stock

what are you trying to do with the car? raise or lower compression?

lower, ill be boosting 10-13lbs through a semi built block, i know some people feel going with a thicker headgasket is risky so how thick would you go before stopping? Im going with cometic as far as quality

semi built block? how about a description of the build? your pistons should really be the deciding factor when trying to achieve a desired compression

Srp standard bore, 9:1. Tuner toys rods.

use stock thickness HG, 9:1 is perfect
