SR20 Head Thickness - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Anyone know how thick the stock head is on a SR20?

I need to get my block machined and am trying to make sure the pistons wont hit the valves.

I have a 1.1mm head gasket, so maybe I can get away with it, just trying to make 100% sure first.

Thanks in advance.

Someone must know this information.

if im not mistaken, the maximum limit is .2mm. This number is figured by adding both the amounts of head and block resurfacing.

Examples:
.15mm head & .05mm block

or

.1mm head & .1mm block

137mm for S14 SR20DET head

.2 is a limit for resurfacing but you can take away more, it's your timing, lift of the valves, and valve size that matters, and of course the piston if you changed to a different height or design

Alright thanks guys.

I was just wondering cause my head needed to be welded and decked already so I needed to measure it to see how much I will be able to take off the block.

Do you think the S13 and S14 are the same size?

lol

! everything matters when you go beyond the limit...

Just have your machinist give a recommended thickness of head gasket unless you trust your numbers.

Or, I can build your engine!

I have Chucks SR (my old blacktop) on lockdown when hes ready for moer power.

pm me if interested.

And I just found out that stock headgaskets are 1.1mm.

God dammit.

Whatever i'll keep this one for another build.
