Ok i know that a zc uses a 90 b20 head gasket but imma turboing my zc and i heard about some people using 2 head gastket to lower there compression, is that safe? or do they make a specific head gasket for the zc to lower the compression

No, you dont use the b20 head gasket for the zc, you use the d16a1 integra head gasket. I'm 100% positive on this, I've worked on several zc's. The only thing you use from the prelude is the timing belt, and thats it.

As far as lowering the compression ratio, I wouldnt even worry about it, It's plenty safe. Never stack gaskets.

Are you sure? We tried to use a B20 one on Jays ZC and it didn't work we ended up using my B16 timing belt and that worked fine .

cometic head gaskets, they make a zc one. It is a d16a1 integra head gasket. And the timing belt is for a 2.0 prelude.
