Frank · **3.0L Head Gaskets...**

Is it really true that the DOHC Gaskets work on the SOHC? If so that is great news because 3SX makes the oversized piston gaskets for the DOHC car. I am going with the .125" oversized setup. This gives me 3.15L. Of course I am going to sonic test my block first for any issues with the casting.

i have also heard this is true. i could feesably see this as the mitsu 3000gt VR-4 shortblock that i have looks just like a SOHC engine... excet for a few things like where the oil filter mounts.

...if i had my shadow's 3.0 apart i'd go test fit the head gasket on that block to see, but i don't. but from a glance they look the same.

Frank, I just went shopping.

Im going with Cometic headgasket. Its 95mm and its only 70 bucks a piece unlike the 130 a piece 3sx ones. Importperformance.com
Also flatlander sells them??

I was asking this question on the boards over on 3si.org.

I was actually shopping for 6g74 and 6g75 headgaskets. They are not quite as thick as the stock headgasket, but I called mitsu and they are only 53 bucks a pop from the dealer.

Im going .096 over because that matches up to the biggest total seal rings I could find around that size.

Thanks all for the information. I may go with the 0.096" over pistons because Total Seal is good. This will be good because I need the oversized gasket for this setup like you. Left you all feedback. Thanks!

Ed over at total seal has been very good to me.

Ive got a quote # for my specific rings your could ask him about.

Looks like I am going Cometic .054 thick. I told Venolia last night that would be my gasket thickness when they called me confirming some information.

Im a bit scared of trying the 6g74-6g75 gaskets, and the cometics are not much more expensive then the big bore mitsu stockers.

I think final bore is 3.683. Ive got the # at home.

Have any of you bothered to try contacting ROL? They make very good headgaskets that are very well spoke of by anyone I spoke with running them on turbo Fords.
