but hes installing a 3mm head gasket.
how much should the timing gear be clocked for a 2mm head gasket?

 

anyone???

 

You don't clock a 2mm gasket...

 

why did he clock the 3mm then?

 

No clocking needed on mine either.

 

didnt need to clock mine with the cometic 2mm. its just the added space from the 3mm when you have to adjust it.

 

You really don't have to, but I did here. It helped a little to get things back to TDC.

 

No need to clock the gear with a 2mm or 3mm HG. The minimal movement, about .010", wont really change anything. I have never clocked my gear with my 3mm HG and never had any problems.

 

Thanks for the help guys. We will have the head on by end of today.
