They don't make thicker ones, and stacking them is not advised.

Plus unless you have a 2000, the stock pistons don't like a lot of boost. Many pre-2000 engine have had cracked ring lands due to the earlier design.

Forged pistons are the way to go.

Magic maybe?

Call this guy.



War. did a 3L hybrid with 3L valves in the 2.5 heads. Also did a little chamber work to drop the compression to 10.2-10.5:1.

You do know that modifying a car costs $. If you don't have any you need to stop modifying them. Stop asking questions I hope you know the answers to. You also need to change your SN after posting such a question.

copper! good idea! SCE makes custom copper gaskets for our car. You just have to O-ring the block which is about 2-3 hours of labor. Thay have 2.5 gaskets in stock but have to order 3.0. Two weeks waiting time...you have to buy two pairs though. Any body want to get them with me.3 liter gasket part # 9124 www.scegaskets.com

by the way i do have money....not my dads either...

That was a joke BTW. Not a reference to head gaskets. These cars don't ahve issue with the stock gaskets. If you want to spend needlessly go ahead. I mean you have all this money and you want to drop C.R. w/o doing it right. $600 will get you any CR you want. Ahem!
