metal gasket for DOHC ZC
 

I've got a Cometic HP gasket for the D16. Problem is, the oil galleries don't match to my DOHC ZC block. I've always had the impression that all D16 engines have the same kind of blocks...obviously i'm wrong.

Does cometic supply the right kind of gasket for the DOHC ZC? I believe my block should be identical to the D16A1.
I'm looking for a metal gasket of 0.030 thickness.

Any recommendations?

sohc d16s and dohc zc's 1.6s are different thats why the dohc head wont swap onto the sohch without a few mods bc of this, you obviously have a sohc 1.6 HG, send it back

As far as I know HKS is the only manufactor for metal head gaskets for the D16a1/ZC head config. They have 3 different types and different thicknesses. They are very expensive, but work good.

thank abaz,

i'll probably get the HKS HG. I know they were available quite sometime ago, along with the camshafts, but many shops don't stock them anymore. I'll follow up with your link and check that shop out.

I'm running 75.5mm pistons, will the HKS 76mm HG work fine?

Thanks again!
