Thicker Gasket after head skim

nortm005 · Jul 12, 2020

Hi all,
I have a skimmed cylinder head for 2.5 NA (1986)

Will i need a thicker gasket on to compensate for the skimming? Or will a standard one do?

Thanks

I'd fit a composite gasket as a matter of course.

just use std composite gasket and fit head with all cylinders not a tdc ,when you set tappets youll ensure valves arent touching piston but they shouldnt do, have hot spots been ground flush at the same time.?
