when doing head work, if you only replace the springs and retainers do you need to re-shim everything or will the stock shims still suffice?

i.e. replacing stock springs and retainers with BC springs and retainers
valve height wont change. just make sure you label each and every one when you take em out

Is the OEM SR head gasket .8mm or 1.1mm? I am finding conflicting results.

Reason being the block I bought needed to be decked .25mm!

I will also have to remember to shave the front cover, good thing I looked through this thread to remind me.

PS sorry for bumping an old thread.

Limit is .2mm between head and block iirc.

If you decide to increase your chances with a larger head gasket, I'd highly recommend you still check valve clearances.


By you even looking for the information though, you may already know that. Just checking.

So I want to order a head gasket kit from frsport and the head gasket is 87mm bore and my motor is completely stock which I'm pretty positive is 86mm bore, am I going to run into any problems?
