    Ready for a new headgasket, questions

    Yes. If you want a MHG to seal and LAST, you must be absolutely sure that the block and head are flat and smooth enough to meet that manufacture's required Roughness Average specifications. You are taking a big gamble on here by not machining the block too. Many people do this, some get away...

    Ready for a new headgasket, questions

    Ready for a new headgasket, questions

    All you have to do is measure the thickness of the head to see if there was ever any material taken off of it besides what your mechanic took off. The very best there is is open to discussion, but most would say the 2.0mm HKS stopper MHG, but you'd be wasting your money on it without pulling...

    2.0mm should leave you safe ;). But it you really want to know, the stock thickness of the 7M head is 116mm from cam deck the head deck.

    A compressed stock HG is 1.37mm thick. .006" is 0.1524 mm. To keep the stock compression, all you have to do is the simple math ;).

    Maximum boost?

    It'll raise on it's own once you put a full turbo back exhaust on it and larger hardpipes and a better IC ;). I have all of that and just running off of my wastegate I'm pegging the stock boost gauge.
