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 |

If the engine has had any head work (fly cut) done the combustion chamber size may have changed. There is no standard answer to your question. You have to cc your heads or have your machinist cc your heads. Then you have to determine your deck height without shims or gaskets. Then you have to determine what size shims to use for the desired compression ratio. All engines are different and there is no way to know without measuring. Anything else is just a wild ass guess.
I didn't run gaskets based on the recomendations of Len Hoffman & Jake. They did the machine work and I followed their recommended installation proceedure. |
