Headgasket failure on Version 4 STi, What bits would I need to do the job????
Well its not my car its my brothers version 4 STi. His headgasket has gone and he is going do the job himself(and some help from a mechanic), what other bits beside the headgaskets would need/or best to be changes while the engine is out.
Also what gaskets would be best as a upgrade. He has been on Roger Clark website and there are composit, multi layer steel and steel headgaskets. is there any other places that are worth looking at for headgaskets!!!

Hi,
What would the correct compression ratio be? I have a set of 1.3mm cometic gaskets which i would like to use so just wanted to know if this would be hazardous to the engine or will it be ok?
Thx,
Imran

Normally its advisable to replace timing kit (pulleys and tensioner). Oil/Water pumps?
To take both heads off and replace you would need cam oil seals, rocker cover gaskets, inlet manifold gaskets, valve stem oil seals, maybe crank oil seals, exhaust gaskets if needed. New oil filter/oil & sump washer...
Whats the clutch like? THE LIST GOES ON

too high/wrong compression ratio caused by incorrect head gaskets on a turbo engine is bad thing as it will be more prone to det when on boost, and then go BANG!
