I was told to start a new thread on this one.
I want to remove the head gasket from my 1.7. Can I remove the head gasket and still use the stock base gasket? I know there are replacement base gaskets to bring it back to stock compression but, will leaving the stock base gasket raise the compression too much? I can't find the link to the calculator to look this up. Sorry if it seems like I'm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dead horse.gif) but thanks for the info |

We are not ignoring you by the comments made about the head gaskets.
You inadverdently pushed a hot button for 2 of our engine gurus. In the past, the head gasket thing has become a bone of contention, with heated arguments and people on both sides of the issue. Jake is a firm believer in eliminating them. The Cap'n is a firm believer in putting them in. Most of us have our opinions either way. Here's a couple of links to past threads for you to see what has already been covered here. Head gasket link #1 Head Gasket link #2 That is the reason for all the popcorn and Pizza eating....
