Im running a stock block d15b2 at the moment, Im thinking about using the MR.gasket stackbale headgasket. I want to use the 1.5mm gasket which lowers comp. to 8.97..12 lbs safe tuned with TE?

I kno im a pain in the ***

thanks

Using a nice head gasket doesnt make up for the stock internals... rings dont last forever, ya know?

i will second that...good tuning will make 12psi possible on a stock motor...---- its a D15B2, who gives a ----? i was running 15psi on a stock B18...

B18's also have alot larger rods than D15's lol..

Personally I'd never use a stackable head gasket set. the Tripple layer metal gasket from OE honda work the best IMO. Tuning is where its at.

cometic makes thicker than stock head gaskets...its 3 layer

turbohf

pistons are just as brittle though...which would seem to be what he is worried about if he is going for a thicker headgasket. lowering the likelyhood of braking a piston not a rod...

My point was, dont give the guy an idea to run 15psi on stock D-series rods.

I dont even think your setup would last on 15psi

Don't worry i kno i cant run 15psi lol

I kno a pretty good amount about building engines and setups, i was just looking for a way to give a lil more leeway.

But owell ---- it, 12psi on stock engine here i come :P

Im gonna try and use the megasquirt DIY ecu, think ill be ok?
