Stock Bottom end LT-1 with stock heads, Twin turbo.
The block is oringed and has old school copper head gaskets in it now.

My question is can some of you forced induction guys make a recomendation for a new gasket. The car will see plenty of street duty and makes about 14lbs of boost.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Jim

 

cometics

 

Any advantages of one or another for street duty. i have never had a copper head gasket vehicle. Actually never had a turbo car before this.
All my messings have been with bb and sb n20 cars? Did put a set in one car... bb- 509 on spray and it it didn't seem to happy on the street with copper head gaskets for some reason. They just never really sealed right.

I think i am going to try the cometics though and see how they live. Do u know if they use Hylomar with there gaskets??
Worst case i pull the heads back off

stock bottom end (2-bolt main) holds up to twin turbo?

 

wait to see the connecting rod tied in a knot

 

Sorry for the confusion guys. it's a 4 bolt splayed cap main with stock crank now.

And as for a connecting rod or the crank letting go..... i can only hope

 

No the gaskets are bare, but people use copper spray or hylomar on them with good results. I would definitely spray them with something before installing. Also you have to make sure you have the correct RA smoothness on the block and heads, or they wont seal.

 

Thanks for the input wannabess.
