I inhiereted a mls head gasket.It is a 5 layer one.my question is do these mls gaskets come in different thicknesses ,are they reusable and because my head has been skimmed is it gonna stuff around with my compression ratios.is there a way to work it out or is a standard head gasket just as good.im going for forged pistons as I have to rebore slightly due to a bit of cylinder damage anyway.cheers

hey guys this morning i went to go for a drive but i had a feeling i should check my fluid levels before i do so and i did, i found a lot of oil in my coolant, we pressure tested the radiator and it held pressure well very small drop in pressure after 15mins, and also did compression test which came back ok. am i looking at a suspected blown head gasket here? or are there other places where the oil could have gotten into the coolant from? -
rb25 86.5 mm bore and Genuine head gasket???? Can anyone tell me if using a genuine head gasket on a 86.5 mm bore will be ok? I know the gaskets aren't spot on but just unsure and would rather use genuine all round then Anything else especially with the tolerance issues that come with metal gaskets

RB25 with Thinner MLS Headgasket (0.76mm) I've done a lot of searching but haven't found anyone who has tried this before (possibly for a good reason?). My R33 is a track car and I'm rebuilding my RB25DET after cracking a piston ringland, I was running E17 but will be going E85 for the extra safety that offers. For the time being I will be continuing to use standard pistons (with a hone and new rings). I'm considering ARP head studs as I'm getting sick of buying single use OEM bolts (this is the third time the head has come off now) and I'm looking at a MLS head gasket for the same reason. My calculations seem to indicate that going from the stock head gasket (1.1mm compressed) to a 30 thou head gasket (0.76mm) will raise my compression ration to 9.3 which would be a nice bump with E85 use (standard turbo, with plans to go highflow later on). Has anyone attempted this before (or shaved the block for the same effect)? My main concern is the effects this will have on the quench area, I'm using standard cams so valve clearance should be okay.
