STFU dutch pug. peugeots aren't hondas. you don't stack up headgaskets period! he needs a thick commetic gasket and that's it. hondas may have even higher compression that a peugeot, especialy if the peugoat came boosted oem. :-*

Stuff it Nordape,

The compression on the above mentioned Peugeot engines are 10.4:1 and 11.0:1, and they are not factory boosted :-*.

so on a peugeout you just stack up oem head gaskets and it works? that won't work on a honda.

Re:doubling up head gaskets....your opinion...or experiances
 

Well, if I had the money, I would buy a nice set of pistons and rods... am saving for a set, but... I'm a bad saver :-\

Anyway, if it works on my engines, doubt it will fail on Honda's, then again... mine are closed deck.

I've always wanted to do this. I know that to do it right you need to rivet them together. However, there's probably something special you gotta do to them to make them work right. Give it a try and see how it works.


I have a MLS head gasket and its nothing like the stock headgasket. The "thick layers" are made of some different material than what the stock gaskets are made out of. And there's also a certain stacking sequence you have to follow. I'm going home next week so I can find out more about it cause I forget all the details of it.



Also, I do have extra "stacks" for the gasket. If you can get it to work by sandwiching inbetween the stock gasket material you can have it

has anybody that says it wont work actually tried it if not stfu just because somebody on hondatech said its bad doesnt mean it wont work. i say give it a shot then you'll know for your self.

Re:doubling up head gaskets....your opinion...or experiances
 

maybe copper spray between them to help them bond together?

Re:doubling up head gaskets....your opinion...or experiances
 

i had a mr gasket mls with the spacer plates that you riveted... it ------- sucks.. it leaked..

i used a felpro had no probs.. i cant see 2 hg working properly.. cometic gaskets are mls and thick so i say go the safe way and do that

Theres a guy here runnign 2 honda headgaskets in a turbo gsr and runs 11s.

www.littlevtec.com is his site, try and email him ask him how it worked out?

Re:doubling up head gaskets....your opinion...or experiances
 

my thoughts exactly...well i just dont want to buy pistons right now, i have another porject that i want to finish first.

like i said before, the VW guys are telling me to do this on my 2.0L 8v motor that i will be putting in my GTI. its common practice. they are running shiloads of boost on this setup. and factory compression is like 9.4:1 (about what im at right now) and they use MLS gaskets also. the only reall diff is that they run iron closed deck blocks...

anyway....---- it im abouy 98% sure that i will be doing this, one used headgasket (replaced a month or so ago) and a new one i will be pickin up today...both Felpro MLS gaskets...

oh i have also heard of this ---- Neon guys use to spray on there gaskets for better sealing, i will be trying to pick some of this ---- up too...or just some copper spray...
