Head Gasket |
| |
Cometic multi layer steel (MLS) head
gaskets replace the factory head gasket. By using the same design as the
factory gasket with a thicker inner layer, combustion chamber volume is
increased. Increasing chamber volume decreases compression ratio. The
factory compression ratio is 11:1. The reduced ratio with the
recommended gasket thickness is 9.8:1. This reduced compression ratio
allows more aggressive pressure and tuning for power levels up to 380
wheel horsepower.
ScienceofSpeed recommends a properly prepared sleeved short block with
forged low compression pistons installed for power levels above 380
wheel horsepower.
ScienceofSpeed recommends the Cometic gasket in a maximum crushed
thickness of .074" (2mm) to maintain proper camshaft alignment. This
moderate compression ratio drop also maintains good throttle tip-in
engine response. Other
thicknesses are available - please inquire. |
