LadVR 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi folks,I'm also doing a turbo project, just rebuilding the VR at the mo. i've now got a 3 ltr bottom end with low comp pistons, my question is:As the cylinder bores are now slightly larger in diameter, do i have to use a gasket with larger bores(specifically for a 3ltr) or can i use the standard one. Anyone suggest a company? Kev, i think you may be able to help with this one?Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

LadVR 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ok cheers for the help. Thought i might be able to use a standard one as its only a slight increase across the bore, obviously not!something else to find - loving this project though, just wish someone else was paying for it!!!

Lizard Racing 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 What size pistons are they? You can use a standard 2.8 headgasket! I run 83mm pistons with a standard gasket and I have no clearance issues at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Done a bit of research, spoke to a couple of people, they have confirmed that it'll be fine to use a 2.8 gasket.Cheers for the help people! Link to post Share on other sites
