Upgraded B18 Head Gasket Choice 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be tommyt544 on  Thu Feb 6 13:42 CST 2020 [RELATED]

Thanks for the info.

I'm using 92/93 octane because where I live, few stations provide ethanol free gas unless it's the top grade.

I won't have access to my block to test anything until I remove the old head. But given that I have a pretty mild setup for a B18B head (it was decked 0.010), there must be some general parameters I can work with.

The most common B18B gasket is the .85mm and the most common B20/B18 gasket is the .80mm. Think I'd be safe with either one?
