Product Description
Rover SD1 V8 Head Gaskets
Composite head gaskets are thicker than standard tin gaskets and will therefore lower the engine's compression ratio. Ideal for correcting compression ratio when heads/block faces have been skimmed. (Not applicable 1995 on).
Approximate gasket thicknesses are as follows:
- Standard (tin) gaskets - 0.5mm
- Composite gaskets - 1.2mm
Typical effect on compression ratio:
- Standard (tin) gaskets - 3cc
- Composite gaskets - 10cc
