Default Re: What's the advantage of using the 2.7tt Head Gasket?
All metal, unlike the cheap paper HG that comes stock. Also, I "think" that it is slightly thinner than the stock HG, bumping up compression maybe .1.

sweet. Stock crank and rods? Nice to know the 2.7TT works. Stasis made their own gaskets.

The gasket fit fine, there were just a few unused passages on the new gasket. The rods (with ARP bolts) and crank are essentially stock, they hopefully will hold up fine. I plan on keeping the redline under 7000rpm so that should help. I guess I will just have to find out.
