86 supra head gasket

amueller626 · 03-22-2010, 08:29 PM

I'm replacing the head gasket on a 1986 Supra. I took the head in for surfacing and they had to take off.015" to get it to clean up. Do I need a thicker head gasket, if so where can I get one?

The only way to go thicker is to go with a metal HG in which case you'll need to get the block resurfaced as well.
