Hello,
How do I find out which Brickwerks cylinder head gasket is right for my AAZ turbo engine before taking the head off. These are the 3 Brickwerk gasket choices
1 notch - 1.53mm thick to suit piston protrusion of .66mm to .86mm
2 notch - 1.57mm thick to suit piston protrusion of .87mm to .92mm
3 notch - 1.61mm thick to suit piston protrusion of .93mm to 1.02mm
To suit engines.

You need the head off to measure deck height

You probably need the head off first, but have a look to see if you can see the botched bit of the gasket, they usually poke out the side of the head

I wouldn't rely on what is there currently - lazy people tend to just whack the thickest one on without measuring the piston protrusion.

Thanks All,
I will take the head off and have a measure up before ordering.
