Headgasket

[wangan_cruiser]

ok as the title says, as im checking the motor and found some wear on it that led me towards replacing most of everything. thinking i want to do it the right way that will save me the headache for later. i want to replace my headgasket and my 1st and 2nd choice would be apexi and greddy. but since im on a tight budget plus wanted to get it done the right way that pulls me to GREDDY. then sending the head to get deck but i have no clue how much mm to get the head milled or the shop will decide to match the headgasket what im about to use. im aiming to get 300whp later around 12-15 lbs of boost if i decided to upgragde later thats why i want to change my headgasket and drive it on the safe side.

sr i assume? stock is plenty for three hundred but just spend the extra money and get an apexi if you choose aftermarket

why would you want to mill the head down if the head isn't warped?

Did the motor overheat or something? Stock HG is fine for 300hp. Apexi and ARP bolts if you must.

^Agreed.

Just talk to the machinist at the shop you're thinking about using and ask him.

Unless the head is warped he'll probably just mirror polish it.

Exactly what kind of wear did you find or what made you suspect the motor?

errr no clue.....i havent took the head out. just in case it is warped thats why ive been reading and searching information about the headgasket. btw i dont want to go higher 18 lbs.....just maybe with aroun 12-15lbs
