    1.2mm head gasket

    Where is the best place to get an uprated 1.2mm head gaskets from.

    Or will it be a case of old skool and skim the head a little and run double gaskets?

    Search for 6A12 dohc gaskets. Australian RPW site has one in various thickness.
    Ex: Galant VR4
    Running 268 HP ATW and 443 Nm torque at 0.9 bar
    Now: Lancer Evolution 8 FQ-300

    Don't know stock gasket thickness.
    VR4 engine is 6A13 dohc, doesn't matter "tt" (turbocharged). The same 6A12 dohc one, difference in conrod/piston stroke.
    Anyway you have listed compability engines at RPW website.

    Dont run double gaskets. Why do you want to decompress the engine anyway.
