Mates, the Spoon Head Gasket for the b16b would make the pistons reach the valves and cause any (at all) problems to the stock b16b engine?
 
If your engine block and head are stock there should be no problem at all. The performance should be wise because your CR is going to raise.

no, they would not sell it if that was the case lol... it works just fine :nice: not a bad idea to put some cams in there too while your at it ;)
 
One other question: What about engine knocking with the spoon head gasket? what kind of fuel should be used? here we have 95, 97 & 98 octanes yet i think even 98 is poor quality fuel.

Thanks in advance.

Rule of thumb is that higher octane fuels burn at a quicker rate therfore aslong as your engine can handle it they 'should' produce more power. In the UK most people who want the most from there car use Shell Optimax etc. Race fuel is the highest octane but is expensive run your car on 98 octane as it will be fine in your B16. Blinx's or someone might have some better advice as im only a novice. Hope this helps !!
 
It just depends on what your car is tuned for, if your using factory ECU then 98 should be more than enough, my country has 91 :angry:

No.

Higher octane fuels burn at a slower rate or more accurately resists pre-ignition. This is why it is not a good idea to use high octane fuel in a LOW compression engine.

The LOW compression will have a difficult time igniting the high octane fuel.

ellanosv: what country are you from? It would help to know what brand gasoline you use and how the octane is calculated there vs. north america.

lol, i was gonna say something too but held back... it could get crazy cause while the high octane fuel burns slower they try to make it burn faster but while still being harder to initially combust blah blah blah... but yeah in the end they do still burn slower...
 
We have here 90Octanes local fuel
Primax: 95, 97
Repsol: 95,98

About how the octane is calculated, i have no idea!!!
