Hey guys, I don't own a cobalt but I'm building a N/A hybrid this winter using a 2.4 bottom end.

I searched on google and here and I can't find the answer.

Anyone know the stock head gasket thickness?

Thanks in advance guys!

 

Nothing yet eh? I'll be patient......anyone.....anyone.....buller?



Also, aside from the sce copper head gaskets does anyone make just a regular MLS gasket?

 

wow u know what that is a good question i have my spec book it don't say nada sorry. the best i can say is get one and Gage it your self

 

Problem is I don't wanna buy a stock one, I want a thinner one to bump the compression.

I can't believe no one knows this lol

 

cometic is .027 thick

i think stock is .045 dont quote me on that thou on the stock one

 

if you mill the surface of your head/motor to clean the surfaces up before you put the new gasket in, you'll gain some compression

 

Yeah i remember this discussion awhile back.

The cometic head gasket is the way to go if you want to raise compression.
But the bore isn't the same is it?

MLS 0.027"

 

also note on the sce copper head gaskets, it requires and mirror'd finish on the head surface and block surface

 

if you go with the cometic you can order different bore sizes and thickness, but it cost more their only made to order. you can go threw and cometic dealar or zzp for that.
