Thinnest predator head gasket?

[DANP]

What is THE thinnest head gasket I can get for a predator? .016 copper?

0. No gasket.

You can use liquid or spray gasket sealer. Copper spray works... Kinda...

Even better if you have a raised sleeve and fire rings...

I cannot wrap my head around that idea

 

[Stangrcr1]

You no understand running no head gasket and only a layer of copper spray a gasket?

or is there something else?

I've seen .010

I'm using a 14cc head. Spark plug electrode sticks out too far. So make sure your piston won't hit the plug when you start going thinner on the gasket

That 70 mm (2.75590551181102 inches ) should do wonders for compression ratio; Currently .009 is the thinnest gasket available; Works well with a thin shot of coppercoat,have not had one leak on 30+ Engines

Hardy har, loads of laughs, your a riot! The one that OldMiniBikes sells is .010 thick for a 70mm bore. BTW you being such a super genius and all. What did you think about the Zero gasket mentioned above?:wink:

Pop the popcorn!:laugh:

Is it true that the stock gasket is .010?

Is it true that the stock gasket is .010?

No. The genius above would know for sure. My guess .032 fiber metal. Thin metal gasket is a upgrade.

 

[Dragbikemini]

Stock Honda 200 is .010 Thin metal. So are some clones. Champion 6.5 Clone has .010 TThin metal. HF clones have the thicker fiber metal. Maybe plays into not wanting to copy exactly.

I posted a link.

Where do you fellows think these gaskets come from?

 

[Camjamsdad]

The original head gasket on my older predator was .043

I would say China. Everything comes from China. They have a good business model. Steal technology and then use slave labor to produce.

 

[Dragbikemini]

OK Taiwan. Didn't click link. I don't need gaskets. But maybe if I bought 100 thin metal gaskets for the 70mm bore clone for say 50$ USD? :wink:

I meant the aftermarket suplier link.
They make aftermarket gaskets in Cambodia ( not sure of the top off my head now about country of origin)

Any material or thickness.
I have som eof their Petter aftermarket gaskets and I know some kart people buy thin copper sheet and fire riing gaskets from them.

They will make as many as you like and the prices are reasonanble
