I'm looking for input on head gaskets, specifically for the F20C but I'd be interested in any input anyone has.

I am fully aware of how a head gasket effects squish and combustion.

Please provide any feedback you have on low-compression gaskets... mfr, material, boost levels run, if you machined the head or deck, if you stepped the deck or o-ringed... please provide as much info as you can. Thanks!

 

There are memeber on the board that have tried them and from what i understand they have failed a cupple of times. However InlinePro uses a custom 3mm head gasget which drops compression to 9:1, i dont know what the make it out of. The owner of inline prototyped the headgasget and the turbo kit on his car. He runs 18psi and makes 456rwhp. He has had the gasget on his car for a little over 6 months he has put about 6000 miles on the kit with no problems other then a broken diff due to many drag events. The headgasget works and theirs has not failed yet im sure there will be people that will tell you it will never last but time will tell. You can find aditional information at Inlinepro.com and TurboUnlimited.com. Turbo unlimited is InlinePro's online parts retail site.

 

The RSR drift car is also using a 3mm head gaseket making around the same horsepower. I talk to the guy that built the car from time to time and he has been very happy with it so far.

 

head gasket is made out of stainless steel
