Cylinder base gaskets

What are the thinnest base gaskets can I use on my banshee? Doing a topend rebuild.

haha yep ! make sure both surfaces are dead perfect flat, and run a sealant only !!

 

 

tho changing your base gaskets alters your port timing so if you got a plan, sweet. if not, you could make it run worse.

 

you can get real thin gasket paper too so if you wanted to run a gasket you could make one thinner than .010"

Your also going to end up with a tighter squish. So you better check it before you just fire up the motor. You don't want your pistons and domes playing Patty-Cake.

What thickness should I go with? Stock cylinders with HJR Dune/play port, wiseco prolite pistons, noss head 19cc domes, stock stroke.

what ever HJR supplied, i think he usually runs a  .020" but you should really ask kevin.

Guess I should just call Kevin up at hjr since he did the port work

Yep, give kevin a call, he will get ya set up right. Take the time and do a leak-down test and check your squish. Its also a good idea to check piston to cylinder wall clearance and calculate your compression ratio. All good things to have written down when you do a new build.
