EPnick22 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 getting my head skimmed tomorrow hopefully, replacing an OEM gasket, what size would i need? 1.2 or 1.4? Quote
Idrees Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 More details would help mate, which turbo set up at what boost etc? Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 a lot of it is pretty much standard, ct9 at 0.8-1.0 bar, standard engine with 100,000 miles on it, had a head gasket 4-5 years ago with no head skim, few mods like fmic, FCD, FPR, blitz decat, sps mani Quote
Idrees Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I imagine a stock gasket would do the job just fine, if you are upgrading to an Athena then I would go for the 1.2mm. Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 yeah? cool would an OEM gasket be much different to the athena anyway? what thickness is the OEM one? Quote
Idrees Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 From memory it's 1mm, the Athena is more reliable imo though and personally I'd pay the extra for one of them especially if you are keeping the car for a while. Quote
EPnick22 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 okay cool, i found a brand new one online for £80 so think ill go for that Quote
