What head gasket?

[Project ES]

I know this topic is constantly beaten up on the forums, but im in need of answers pretaining to my particular setup on my car. All mods are listed in my profile. I plan on pushing between 15 and 22 psi on my 14b and by the end of summer getting a Evo III B16G. I have my head in the shop right now to get it surfaced and I need to know the thickness of the gasket im gonna be using b4 he cane surface it. Any help will be very much appreciated!!! Thank you in advance.

i beg to differ...unles u get the block AND head decked it will push oil and coolant...mine did. im haveing great luck with an PEM composite and ARP head studs. held 25 psi a few times with no problems on a big 16g. i know guys with 60-1's runnin almost 28 psi on the OEM composite with ARP's.

Yea I agree the stock OEM from mitsu and head studs is all you need. I would keep that 14b at about 20-22 psi max at the track with C16 race fuel. should be fine for mid 12 second passes.

With the surfacing just tell him to take off what needs just to be flat.
