Datsun Roadster U20 Thicker Graphite Head Gasket - Intro Offer

1st photo. Nissan stock graphite gasket on the left, New thicker graphite gasket on the the right.

No longer necessary to purchase, difficult to seal, all copper head gasket, steel head spacer or messy and marginal double head gasket method to compensate for overly planed cylinder head castings. Have you priced out a new U20 cylinder head these days? How about $1800.00. None of these choices are really options. We have one though!

This all new gasket is .094 thick compared to the Nissan stock gasket which measures .053 at the fire ring.

Why buy a thicker head gasket? During a U20 cylinder heads life span it can be surfaced many times to the point where the head is nearly unusable. If your head has been overheated and warped it requires either oven straightening, expensive, or a re-surfacing of both sides of the head in order for it to be flat again. Because both sides need to be surfaced the head becomes thinner. Customers and shops often correct the reduction in overall head thickness by piling cam tower shims under the towers to "get the chain tight". The problem is that this can effect the geometry between the cam and the rocker arms. Yes, this can be corrected with different U20 custom retainers that accept taller L-series lash pads of various thickness. Even with a custom retainer package this still does not solve the problem of diminished chamber volume on the head gasket side resulting in higher compression and detonation.

This new gasket gives you the opportunity to correct the issue of a overly planed cylinder head by putting the height back where it was removed. Use this in conjunction with our cam tower shim sets to get the right combination.

Breath back life into your cylinder head! Comes with a detailed instruction sheet and great front timing cover/oil gallery sealing information.

Gasket construction and properties: High performance graphite facing, much like the Nissan stock gasket, on a perforated carbon steel core. Stainless steel fire rings installed at each bore. Graphite has excellent sealing, conform ability and high temperature resistance.

NOTE: We highly recommend our U20 performance stud kit as it is superior to the original head bolt kit. Buy this gasket with our U20 stud kit and take $10.00 off the order.

Datsun Roadster 65 - 70 Thicker R16 1600 Head Gasket - Intro Offer

No longer necessary to use a all copper head gasket and the different challenges in making it work. Also not necessary to double stack two stock gaskets, more expensive than his one, and pray for this method to stay sealed.

1ST photo. Stock thickness gasket on the left. New thicker gasket on the right.This all new gasket is .105 thick compared to the Nissan stock gasket which measures .053 at the fire ring.

Why buy a thicker head gasket? During a R16 cylinder heads life span it can be surfaced many times to the point where the head is nearly unusable. If your head has been overheated and warped it requires either oven straitening, expensive, or a re-surfacing of both sides of the head in order for it to be flat again. Thinner cylinder head castings have a serious problem of diminished chamber volume resulting in higher compression and detonation. If you are using dome pistons mechanical interference with the valve pocket will lead to either small end or big end rod bearing failure. The valve pocket can be professionally and carefully machined, at an additional cost, so as to provide mechanical clearance for the pistons, but this does correct the problem of subsequent and undesirable higher compression.This new gasket gives you the opportunity to correct the issue of a overly planed cylinder head by lowering the compression and by providing adequate clearance between the pistons and the valve pocket. Comes with a excellent instruction sheet.

Gasket construction and properties: High performance, high density composite, graphite facing, much like a Felpro gasket, on a perforated carbon steel core. Stainless steel fire rings installed at each bore. Graphite has excellent sealing, conform ability and high temperature resistance.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you use our R16 performance head stud kit when installing this gasket as it is superior to the original head bolt design.
