Im going to go .020 over with JE pistons. I want a metal head gasket but hks only make one for .040 size pistons. What other company makes a metal head gasket?

I looking at cometic metal head gasket and its for a 87mm which in other words is for a .040 bore. Im going .020 over. Can I still use this head gasket?

no, I wouldn't advise that. lots of guys here bore their blocks. try and PM turbonatormr2. he has a highly modified engine. he may be able to point you in the right direction. they're out there.

Thanks once again for pointing me into the right direction. Now im looking at these forged Cp pistons with .020 bore size in the website of enginelogics. What do you guys think about these Cp forged pistons. My goal is to be able to boost more than 18 pounds with a t3/t4 turbo I have. I want the best bang for my buck. What u guys think?

you can boost 18+ psi if you want to with the T3/T4 turbo-no problem. fuel managemnet and keeping detonation in check are the main issues in doing it without blowing your engine.JeckylHyde runs 22-24 psi on stock internals with 200k miles on the block. so proper fuel tuning, sufficient Intercooling are paramount to doing this safely.
