jonny mac Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hello guys and girls ! In an attempt to retain stock compression ratio I'll be trying to use a thicker head gasket Are there any recommendations for a metal gasket? Needs to be a 2jz gte gasket with 2mm thickness however once my head is checked I'll find out if it will have any material removed and work out gasket thickness to retain the 8:57:1 ratio Any options? Or experience with gaskets you guys can advise on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris88 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Try Cometic (http://www.cometic.com) they're American but have Multi-Layer Steel head gaskets in a whole range of thicknesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks mate, ideally looking for a UK supplier as I'm fed up paying import duty from the states. If I can't find anything here then I may end up doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny mac Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Also with seeing mixed reviews online, what gasket would be best to use, a 1jz or a 2jz? I've heard you wee supposed to use the gasket that marches the head however the 2jz one seems to cool cylinder 6 better apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 No, he's definitely not a forum member Google Cometic Europe. How much has the head been skimmed? You could have the pistons machined to drop the CR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
