This might be a dumb question but if you get your cylinders over bored .5mm do you need to get a .5mm larger head gasket??

I have a ZC engine that was overbored .5mm, will the stock acura integra head gasket be arlight or do I have to get a larger head gasket?

 

im pretty sure u can have stock head gaskets bored out as well. (not 100% positive)

 

.5 isnt much, in fact you probably will be fine.. You can do it your self with a whippitie, just be real careful, or you can have someone bore it out slightly..

 

That is what I figured, .5 isnt much, I'll be fine. But my next problem is 1 of my head bolts destroyed the threads in the block, I am going to have to go back to the machine shop again and get it sleeved.... ARRGH!!! I want my car up and running, The weather is getting nice and I am sick of driving a piece of ---- tracker.

 

HAHA !!!! i have done the sameeeeeee thing..but u can fix it in 10 seconds...just buy a heli coil and put it pretty deep in the threaded bolt hole..its that easy.they sell heli coils at ACE hardware and O'riely auto parts.
