Stuff Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Hey guys, I'm pulling my head to have it shaved cause I'm getting it done for free Gonna have to replace the head gasket and wanted to know what I should go with and where the best place to get it? Should I just get a stock replacement or are there any good aftermarket gaskets? Also, what is the stock head gasket thickness and should I stick with that? It will be shaved 0.030" Thanks, Aron Quote
evil Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 just suck it up and go to the dealer everyone i know replaced it with a factory og one and it seems to be fine, just going to the dealer that sucks. im not sure of the thickness, i lost it when the good oll pc took a shit but i did have it mic'd but the stocker will do just fine. just be sure to replace it, seen a re-use blow coolant everywhere.

Stuff Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 I figured the dealer would be one of the only options. Doesn't bother me, just don't like dealing with some of those guys and their prices. Quote
Aussie Quad Racer Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Buy yourself a billet head with orings. Will save you money in the long run. It used to cost me $100au in gaskets to tear down the motor. I now make my own base gaskets and with the orings(which dont need replacing on every inspection) i save money. How much is it for head and base gaskets in the USA? Quote
