RB20 Head Gaskets

[adam 32]

does the head gasket from the RB20DE and RB20DET vary at all?

i recently replaced my head gasket and now the engine is pinging like crazy so am thinking maybe theyve given me the wrong one and the engine is running higher compression...

if anyone has the part number for the RB20DET head gasket thatd help alot as ive still got my receipt and can check it against that.

cheers

you might have had a thicker head gasket to begin with or your timing is to far advanced

[adam 32]

timing is back as far as it goes - 5 degrees approx

the engine is a 2nd hand one from wrecker so probably had a stocker...

is there a difference between the RB20DE and RB20DET head gaskets?

[meggala]

possibly not sure though Ihavent seen them together .

ask nissan

[adam 32]

theyre listings are all over the place though... hence the possibility ive ended up with the wrong HG. i might try calling the main office or soemthing tomorrow but here in perth its hard to track down anything

[meggala]

sorry I cant help any more if you find out please let me know I'll put it on my site

[adam 32]

yep will do

its another thing thats possibly causing the pinging so ive got to eliminate it soonish. ill do another ring-around tomorrow and see what i find

[meggala]

also check fuel pressure and fuel regulator

cheers
