Head gasket thickness?
Saturday, July 19, 2008 10:48 AM
Does anyone know what the advantage/disadvantage is to having a thicker head gasket for a Turbocharged engine? I have a 90 Sunbird GT 2.0L Turbo. Daftart sell cometic gaskets that are different thickness' and i'll trying to figure out which one i should buy. Thanks, Devin
