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 |

The Capn's stand is that they are there for a reason...period....Porsche installed them, yes he's seen the one doc. that claims to remove them, however, it can be interperted a few different ways......... compression should be 8.3 if stock....don't know if the original 1.7 pistons are dished (if so, are there different versions) or if they are flat or??? you have to measure unless you know for a fact that everything is bone stock and unmolested, even then the tolerances could be plus or minus.... so either measure it or take a chance and throw it together.... |
