Need some help ASAP with finding...
I need some help finding out where I can get 1 of 2 things for my 95 Civic DX 2dr. It has the stock block punched out 2x's with a D16z6 Vtec head on it, larger JDM IM, 62mm TB w/intake, & DC Sport Header 4-2-1. Now what I need to find is a shop/store in the Southern California area of Orange County where I can get a head gasket that is either a MLS setup or I need a spacer to use with a new stock D16z6 HG. The reason being that when the block work was done they surfaced the top of the block plus the head has had bare minimum milling done to it 2 times. Therefore my compression is rather high and I need to use a thicker than stock only HG. If anyone is able to let me know of a place I would be very appreciative. I need to find a local shop that hopefully I can go into and purchase it as I am not able to do it over the internet nor do I have the time factor to wait for it to arrive. It is my daily driver and need to get this done ASAP. If anyone knows of a place or even some suggestions I will thank you in advance.
One concern of mine is that with a MLS setup there are a couple options for my engine. If you check this link
http://go.mrgasket.com/newproducts/flyers/74237G.pdf
you will find at the very bottom of the page 3 options for my engine using the D16z6 head. One is with a 75mm bore, a 2nd is with a 79mm bore, and the 3rd is a Stackable which is also a 75mm bore. My bet is on the stackable one as i would be able to get a .50mm-1.75mm thickness variation. The first 2 choices at both set thickness of .80mm only. Can anyone tell me also with block punched out 2x's is the 79mm gasket bore more the direction I need to go than the 75mm gasket bore? So basically there are 2 concerns with deciding the right choice. 1st is thickness of the Head Gasket & 2nd is the Gasket Bore size. Like I said any info anyone can give me is greatly appreciated.
Thanx, BS Racing
