    1.8MM MLS Headgasket. Anyone use these?

    So i could go 1.37MM even though i technically need a 1.87MM? I been thinking what if the pistons touch the Head?? & that is correct i have no intentions on upgrades, extra boost or what so ever at the moment. & So since i do not have this ARP Lube would Loctite be fine or would i be fine w/...

    Head Gasket thickness selection

    I have 198MM Block & 116MM Head so this would mean i need a 1.87MM head gasket, would a 2.0MM do? It's my first time working on a 7MGTE. Only thing that looks familiar is Oil pump lol. My Calculations: STOCK = 198.5MM+116MM+1.37MM = 315.87MM My situation = 198MM+116MM=314MM 315.87MM-314MM= 1.87MM

    Um yes. I input the CORRECT information & to backup my info i asked a Certified Technician who's been Certified over 20 years & he took one look & he said RADIATOR. & yea reviving a very old thread, is that bad? I'm much of a noob to forums, threads & stuff like that.
