How do you know it is not just the effect of a new/ rebuilt head? A crap flowing head will have far bigger effect on how the engine performs than than the slightly thicker head gasket. You can't really jump to the conclusion that it was the gasket that made it better as you changed other things in the process...No, I wanted my valve stem seals and valve guides done. engine was smoky, the garage told me the head had to be removed so I replaced the head gasket with a spoon 2ply. turned out to be a good choice
Where did you buy the seals and guides from ? How is the work everything ok ? No burned oil from the exhaust now ?only valve stem seals and valve guides... OEM parts.. what else could it be?
stock is 0.75 and spoon is 0.45
Ordered parts from honda and the gasket from spoon sports europe.. After the work the car didnt smoke or burn oil. Before the work i was putting in 1LTR of oil a week.
