Re: another HG question D-seires
 

Just a random question. The headgasket box says that the headgasket requires to be put on dry and clean, yet i have seen many people use the copper spray on them. I know the copper spray makes it seal better but does it decrease the life of the gasket in any way? I always use the mls gaskets and copper so i haven't put on an oem in a while.

At the wheels I hope... That is not bad. I wonder if thats with decent engine management

Re: another HG question D-seires
 

250 at the wheels is the absoloute max and dont expect it to last for5 years.. one small margin of error and boom...d rods are about strong as a tooth pick i say on stock dd d-series 200 is high as you need to go to the wheels

Re: another HG question D-seires
 

ok i have still been searching around for my HG and the best i can come up is the graphite A1 gasket.. i dont really want to spend like $130 bux for an hks that will bump my compression upto 9.9:1.. would it be worth while to get the graphite one with some copper spray?? or if anyone feels like it make me a copper one??

Re: another HG question D-seires
 

I just put arp studs and an oem acura gasket and I'm crossing my fingers... Then again I'm not looking for more than about 200whp. Let me know what you decide on

Re: another HG question D-seires
 

im probably going to end up dropping the coin on the HKS gasket for that extra added benifit

Re: another HG question D-seires
