Title: 1.9 AAZ Head Gasket question
Post by: starrd on February 11, 2008, 09:05:08 pm
Just measured my piston protusion on my 1.9 AAZ build and it is 0.026", which I know requires a 1 notch head gasket.  My question is, do people use other than the factory settings to lower compression slightly?  I am going to be running 18 PSI boost, K24 turbo, giles pump, intercooler and 2 1/2" downpipe.  I know this affects the squish, but I want to make sure I order the right one.  Any opinions or suggestions are welcome.  Thanks
