drzed Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I've tried both Motorsport Auto and Courtesy Nissan - neither one can get this gasket anymore. Courtesy Nissan still lists it on their website but they didn't know what I was talking about when I tried to order it today. Does anybody know where I can buy a 0.6mm steel head gasket? If not, has anyone used one of the copper head gaskets on a high boost L series engine? If I can't find one I'll go to the 1.0mm but I don't want to lose any more compression from this engine - dismally low already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Can't you just take the 1mm gasket and peel off a couple layers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I haven't used the metal headgaskets, but my understanding is that it is a laminated gasket with stacks of .2mm layers of gasket. So I think you can get the 1mm gasket and peel off 2 layers, and there you go. I read about it here, might want to search. I think Dan Baldwin was talking about it on an OLD thread. If you search, you'll probably find it on one of the threads when we were at each others' throats arguing about quench or something stupid like that...

drzed Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hey this could work out pretty good. I could order one 2mm head gasket and make three 0.6mm gaskets with some left over!!! Just kidding but I'll look into this as I've never even seen one of these gaskets before. Thanks for the reply. BTW I think I found someone with the .6mm - Performance Nissan Parts. They are also cheaper than the other two I mentioned at $132 ea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
