Re:doubling up head gaskets....your opinion...or experiances
VW guys do it all the time with both MLS and comp gaskets. Pretty common ---- really. The 2L 16v is 11:1 so you have to do something about it. I've seen people make over 300 on stacked gaskets. A little copper spray might help.

TURBOHF...in case you didnt know, you can get cometic head gaskets that are thicker than stock. So instead of doubling up your stock head gaskets you can guy one cometic that is thicker than your stock giving you the same results as doubling up your stock gasket this is just safer.

My friend has stacked stock gaskets a few times with success. Held 15 psi from a t25 on a d16a6. Cracked ring lands before he blew the hg. So yes it does work on hondas.

I don't think he's trying to be a smartass. The 15psi on a T25 is not good, your real world experience is good.
