Hey guys,

I couldn't seem to find an answer to my question since it's about the KA24DE and not the SR.

I am currently doing a rebuild and I got my block back from the machine shop. They bored it to 89.5" and decked it at .004". Also the head I'm looking to buy is going to be decked no more than .010".

My question is, what head gasket should I get? I'm planning a turbo in the future so I want to do a Cometic HG, but I'm not sure what thickness I should get. Would a .040" HG thickness be adequate? I just want to make sure I get the right size so that I'm not compromising the compression.

Thanks in advance to any replies.
