Phlebmaster Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I am glad I can get my L series head gasket for $13.00 shipped from RockAuto. What makes the Nismo one so expensive?? :confused: Is it better? Link to comment

WCR sells em for ~$80 + shippping and only had few left in april. i got 4 from nismo @ ~$55/ea a few years ago. Link to comment

What makes the Nismo one so expensive?? :confused: Is it better? It's the 88.5mm fire rings in the gasket. The biggest normal, commercial head gaskets you can get for the L20B are 86mm, so if you want to overbore the fire rings won't seat and the gasket blows out. Useful for using 280Z +.040 pistons.

What makes the Nismo one so expensive?? :confused: Is it better? some high compression motors require more than a stock head gasket to stay together. it is also for oversized pistons too as i believe stock bore is 86mm but some l serries guru can correct me if im wrong.
