ashep91 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 I have a standard bottom end and a race spec port and polished head what head gasket should I use athena or stock I want to push about 1.2 bar and 250bhp Also should I use standard head bolts or arp Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Just use standard mate I doubt its going to be the h/g that fails running that sort of boost anyway. Quote
MR-2 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 First most important thing is check piston and head inlet valve squishing area cap, there starts Your head gasket calculation, detonation will kill engine very easily and piston ring are first place were it starts. Max 1mm and under is way to go... Quote
starletezy Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Go for an standard head gasket and head bolts mate if you go for a MLS Athena gasket your block will need decking Edited May 3, 2016 by starletezy Quote
ashep91 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 Cheers guys will go for standard hg and bolts what kind of boost an db power does the stock hg and bolts hold if I was to go for more power in the future Cheers guys will go for standard hg and bolts what kind of boost an db power does the stock hg and bolts hold if I was to go for more power in the future Quote
starletezy Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 standard head gasket will handle up to 260hp after that I don't know boost wise anything under 1.1 bar is fine Quote
ashep91 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 So if I push 1.2 I would be playing with fire? What size thickness is the standard head gasket? What boost and hp will standard bolts hold Quote
starletezy Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 1.2 will be fine the standard gasket thickness is 0.5mm. head bolts i don't really don't know they will definitely hold 250hp plus Quote
gorganl2000 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 the stock h/gasket and stock h/bolts will handle the power and boost you mentioned above without issue----assuming you have oem/genuine items and your engine is in good conditionsome people have pushed the stock h/gasket and h/bolts far beyond your goals...300++bhp, 1.5/1.7bar you will need a good tune regardless Quote

5e colin Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 your pistons will start failing at 1.2bar and on the glanza v engines rods to headbolts and gasket can handle more then a stock engine can handle stick to 1bar tdo4 to keep it lasting Quote
