Z32 turbo pistons in SR20DET - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ive noticed some gasket manufactures make a 86mm gasket for the sr20det so thats why i was wondering if it is just listed as 86mm for the bore of the motor but the actual diameter of the gasket is 87mm. Anyhow i have heard that Power Enterprise Gaskets are one of the best and Apexi uses a similar design so they are comparable. Another gasket i am considering is cosworth. I have heard mixed reviews on cometic so not too sure about that, I have heard that if your block and head are freshly decked you wont have any problems but even though i will have a fresh surface on both the block and head i dont want to have to tear the motor apart again just to change the HG and have to spend money a second time.
