I am lead to believe that the headgasket for a v3 sti is a 1.3 or 1.6? does anyone know the correct size?

If you've had 0.008" off which is 0.2mm you would be using the 1.6 gaskets instead of the 1.3 anyway.

yeah i know that but i have read conflicting stuff.

some places say 1.6 for mine, and some say 1.3.
