    i need a metal head gasket!!!

    I have an mx3 with a boosted bp1.8 in it. the block has been bored over .040 to accomodate 84mm wiesco low compression pistons. i can't put the head back on until i find a metal head gasket that fits. does anyone know where i can get one that will work for me?

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

      head gaskets come in metal?!?! I could have sworn that they were either cork or rubber?

        Another link, metal gasket.

        Flyin' Miata is the world leader in Miata performance and well-engineered, proven Miata MX5 components. We offer parts for a full range of Mazda Miata, MX5 and Eunos Roadsters vehicles.


        Or if the above does not work, just go to engine, and select internals.

                    hey guys, i went ahead and called flying miata and they said that the stock head gasket will work just fine for me! it will be ok for up to a .060 overbore. so i'll buy a stock one and see how it works.
