compression dropping Headgaskets

Post by matias » Fri Mar 28, 2008 2:46 pm

I am soon going to fit some 2,8 heads... Should I go for the OEM headgasket, or should I go for some headgasket that drops the compression from 9,3 to 8,6?

@Darren: since when does the latest manifold bolt up to the 2.4 heads? Really curious to find out...

I would love to fit some RS4 heads, but dont have the money to them
The 2,8 heads have bigger ports than the S4, so that is the way I want to go..
