Default cometic head gasket

hi,

I just bought a cometic head gasket on Ebay for $46.00. now, i didnt reaserch too well before i bought it. so now im hear to ask you guys, will this be a good setup. I am buying a B16 head, and a b16 block, both are seperate. and, for the head gasket, i wanna use this. now, im not going for turbo, more for high compression, but it dont have to be incredible. this is the link for the gasket i bought. LMK what you guys think, please.

Rob

That gasket says it is for 82mm bore engines. Yours is 81mm.

It will still work. I run a Cometic 85mm HG on my 84mm bore. It just lowers the compression a bit. One thing that does concern me is the .043 thickness. I know the OEM B18C1 HG is .030 so I'm not sure about the B16A; but if it is also .030 then that .043 is really going to lower your compression even further. :happysad:
